Five years on from her series of Orkestral shows at Reykjavík's stunning Harpa concert hall, Björk has at last announced a worldwide physical release for her October 2021 performance with a 50-person choir that she herself was once a member of.

Previously available only as a limited edition release at the National Gallery of Iceland, Björk & Hamrahlíð Choir - Björk Orkestral with The Hamrahlíð Choir will reach the rest of the world on November 27 via One Little Independent, on vinyl, CD, DVD, and Blu-Ray, and features 11 songs largely drawn from her experimental vocal album Medúlla, with songs from Vespertine, Biophilia, Volta, and SelmaSongs making up the rest of the tracklist.

Watch a clip of "New World" from the SelmaSongs album below:

The performance was conducted by Þorgerður Ingólfsdóttir, with musical director Bergur Þórisson also contributing organ and electronics. Proceeds from the original concert series were donated to a women’s shelter in Reykjavík.

Writing in a press release, Björk says:

"i am so happy and proud of this concert .. we all put enormous love , energy and time into it . i have learned slowly through the years , about the juxtaposition of voices and the electronic ... for me it is a philosophical matter , how nature and technology can coexist amicably . i got an opportunity to learn how to get this balance just right , through extensive rehearsals in the space we got in covid . it is often easier for me to do this on the recordings , but here we did it physically live . and i could tweak older songs that i felt i hadn´t acquired experience yet how to perform live."
