It’s the stuff indie dreams are made of – Bjork’s ‘people’ have announced the new single from the Icelandic chanteuse features Thom Yorke on backing vocals. Nattura, due out in the US on 20 October, takes its name from the free open-air festival Bjork and Sigur Ros staged in Reykjavík this June.
The two vocalists have pooled their considerable powers before for I’ve Seen It All from the Dancer In The Dark soundtrack (the film of course featured a flooring performance from Bjork in the lead role).
This collaboration, like the festival, is part of the effort to “highlight a grass roots movement in Iceland to reclaim the country’s natural resources and wilderness from the hands of big business and pollution.”
Sure enough, Nattura has found its way onto the internet. Have a listen below, but be warned – Thom Yorke is barely decipherable. Pity.
