Bjork is working on first new album since 2022
It's Oh So Quiet singer Bjork has revealed she's working on her first studio album in almost four years.
Björk is working on her first new album since 2022.
The 60-year-old Icelandic musician hasn't released a studio album since Fossora almost four years ago, but it appears a fresh collection of tunes could be coming in 2026.
Next summer, the It's Oh So Quiet hitmaker will have an exhibition at the National Gallery of Iceland, and a new post on Instagram about the project has dropped a major hint about her future plans.
She and artist James Merry will take over the gallery during Reykjavik Arts Festival, which opens on May 30, and the Echolalia exhibition will feature three "immersive installations".
They will each give the public "a rare opportunity to engage intimately with works of phenomenal visual, aural and emotional depth".
The first two - Ancestress and Sorrowful Soil - take their names from tracks on Fossora.
However, the post - which was shared by Bjork, the festival and gallery - added: "The third is a new work based on music from [Bjork's] forthcoming album, currently in development."
Meanwhile, Reykjavik Arts Festival has offered more details about the exhibition and new material.
In a statement quoted by Visir.is, organisers said: "The first hall will feature a new installation with music that emerges from Björk's upcoming album.
"This invites guests to explore the next chapter in the artist's research, where transformation and collaboration are at the core."
While no further details have been revealed, this appears to be confirmation a new collection is on the way.
The original post continued: "James Merry’s exhibition comprises over 80 artworks and offers a window into the evolution of his artistic output over the past decade.
"The masks on view showcase Merry’s craftsmanship, which uniquely blends traditional techniques with contemporary, avant-garde expressions.
"Collectively, these works — the Metamorphlings — form a family of shape-shifting creations that offer insight into his unending fascination with the natural world, as well as his abiding interest in archeology and ancient ritual."
