Bjork Releases New Album 'Vulnicura' Ahead Of Schedule

Bjork has surprised everyone by releasing her new album, 'Vulnicura', two months early.
It was only a week ago that the Icelandic artist announced the album was due for release in March. However, she took to her Facebook last night to reveal the album would be rolled out digitally worldwide within the next 24 hours.
Accompanying the news was Bjork's description of the album's creation:
i guess i found in my lap one year into writing it a complete heartbreak album . kinda surprised how thoroughly i had documented this in pretty much accurate emotional chronology .... like 3 songs before a break up and three after . so the anthropologist in me sneaked in and i decided to share them as such . first i was worried it would be too self indulgent but then i felt it might make it even more universal . and hopefully the songs could be a help , a crutch to others and prove how biological this process is : the wound and the healing of the wound . psychologically and physically . it has a stubborn clock attached to it .
there is a way out
and then a magic thing happened to me : as i lost one thing something else entered . alejandro contacted me late summer 2013 and was interested in working with me . it was perfect timing . to make beats to the songs would have taken me 3 years ( like on vespertine ) but this enchanted arca would visit me repeatedly and only few months later we had a whole album !!! it is one of the most enjoyable collaboration i have had !
