Björk's Vulnicura out on i-Tunes

Björk's new album Vulnicura has been released on i-Tunes after an online leak. The album was originally supposed to be released in March. This is Björk's first album since Biophilia in 2011 and in a Facebook post she describes it as a "complete heartbreak album,"depicting her break-up with artist Matthew Barney.
"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."
The album cover depicts Björk with her chest opened, a symbolic image of heartbreak.
The Guardian has already reviewed the album, concluding," In switching the focus back to herself after the global concerns of her last two albums, Björk’s created a wounded, raw and, most importantly, human album and one that feels like her most vital since 2001."
The album is available HERE on i-Tunes.
