This recording is Bjork's return to Iceland—or Scandinavia, at least—after a career of mixing cultures: posing as a Chinese woman in Asian dress on the cover of her last album, Homogenic, and collaborating in past projects with American rapper RZA and British musicians Goldie, Tricky and Thom Yorke.
