Bjork: 'Volta' Is 'Post 2'

Earlier this month Bjork sat down with Dummy Magazine (which you can read in its entirety here) for a Q+A regarding her influences, reputation as a visual artist and of course, to further explain her latest album, Volta. Here's some select quotes from the Icelandic musical queen:

"Sometimes when I write lyrics there are images in them, usually on a quite simplistic level, like colours. But most often music comes first and then later I sit down with visual people and we chat about what we want to do. I don't look at myself as a visual artist. I make music.

I feel in a lot of ways Volta is Post 2. Very restless and sort of schizophrenic. Promiscuous in collaborations, but sincere. It’s consistent in its restlessness."
