the full biophilia app suite is out now on ipad, iphone and ipod touch. all songs are taken the album 'biophilia'.
Being an "iPad album," the new Björk LP feels like a bit of a soundtrack. Am I surprised? No. But I was happy to find there was a good handful of gorgeous tracks placed on this thing. What do you think of this album?
Biophilia is the seventh studio album by Icelandic singer Björk. It was released on 5 October 2011, by One Little Indian Records and distributed by Nonesuch Records in North America and by Universal Music Group in the rest of the world.
Biophilia is the seventh studio album by Icelandic recording artist Björk.
Biophilia marks Björk's eighth full-length release, and represents her definitive attempt to create an ecosystem around her work. 90-minute film documenting its creation. Beyond that, the album itself purports to engage with some pretty momentous themes, with song titles like "Thunderbolt", "Dark Matter", and "Cosmogony" and imagery focusing on time, space, and the natural world. The stakes feel even higher in light of Björk's mottled output over the past decade.
Label: Polydor – 2781697. Format: 2 Vinyl, 12", Album. It lacks this sharpness of the instruments found on the album and it is low on treble and vocal instrumentation. This is one of her best albums to date and yet this version of the LP is bad. (I read that all of them are bad, which is a huge bummer).

Biophilia is Björk, the sum total, and this album is her continued claim to the throne as the monarch of avant-pop. The insoluble problem of Biophilia is that Björk has chosen to inflate what is ultimately one of her least essential musical statements to such spectacular proportions. It's almost guaranteed to underwhelm.
Björk recorded parts of the album on an iPad, and these songs retain that intimacy. They also recall Vespertine, which was made primarily on a laptop and also kept the closeness of its creation, as well as Homogenic's percussive onslaughts, particularly on the literally volcanic Mutual Core.
