Bjork releasing Biophilia remix album 'bastards', Death Grips included (listen)

Bjork

One Little Indian reports:

One Little Indian is set to release bastards, an album of remixed tracks from Björk‘s Biophilia, on November 19. The album includes some of the remixes released in an eight-part series earlier this year selected by Björk and remastered for this album by Grammy-nominee Mandy Parnell.

bastards features collaborations with artists and producers specifically chosen by Björk for this project including Current Value, Death Grips, Hudson Mohawke, Alva Noto, Matthew Herbert, Omar Souleyman, 16-bit, These New Puritans, and The Slips. “I felt it important to gather together the essence of the remixes,” said Björk of the project, “so I picked a quarter of them for one cd for people who are perhaps not too sassy downloaders or don’t have the time or energy to partake in the hunter-gathering rituals of the internet. I was incredibly impressed by how the core of the mixes took Biophilia somewhere else while still keeping its character, and like they so often do when at their best: the remixes gave the songs more beats; legs to dance on! I spent some time editing together not necessarily the best ones but the ones that made the strongest whole.” Both the original Biophilia and bastards will be available on 12″ vinyl as well as CD and digital download.
