Björk's new album is the "folk music of our time"

Following her first performance of music from her new album at Manchester's International Festival on June 30, Björk has given an exclusive interview in which she declared her new material the "folk music of our time". 

The 'Army Of Me' Icelandic songstress spoke to The Guardian and explained the style of her new record, 'Biophilia':

"I would rather call it folk music – folk music of our time. I was never too much into Warhol and the whole pop thing – it felt a bit superficial. I prefer folk. People. Humans."

"My main aim is to not get too bored myself"

Fans can catch her headlining performance at this year's Bestival in September and you can watch part of her set from the recent show in Manchester below:
