It was produced by Björk, Arca and The Haxan Cloak, and released on 20 January 2015 by One Little Indian Records. Björk said the album expresses her feelings before and after her breakup with artist Matthew Barney and the healing process. ''Vulnicura'' was originally scheduled for release in March 2015, in conjunction with the ''Björk: Archives'' book and an exhibition about Björk's career at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City; following an internet leak, it was released digitally two months early. No singles were released to promote the album. ''Vulnicura'' received widespread acclaim from critics, with many considering it one of her most honest and personal albums as well as her best effort in a decade. The companion album ''Vulnicura Strings (Vulnicura: The Acoustic Version – Strings, Voice and Viola Organista Only)'' (or simply ''Vulnicura Strings'') is set to be released on CD and digital download on 6 November 2015, and on vinyl 4 December 2015. It features strings-only interpretations of the ''Vulnicura'' tracks and utilizes an instrument designed by Leonardo da Vinci called the Viola Organista. == Background and concept == After completing the tour for her previous project ''Biophilia'' (2011), which featured a series of apps and instruments created especially for the live show, Björk expressed interest in using the same instruments for her next project. She told ''The Independent'': "I happen to know some of the best app programmers in the world, and I have the instruments I can just plug straight into the iPad and play whatever I have. So it seems kind of natural to work on an album where I don't have three years of prepping. But at the same time, it is a kind of extreme project." In May 2013, Björk told the ''San Francisco Bay Guardian'' that she was in the early stages of a new album. In the same month, she told the ''San Francisco Chronicle'' she had "enough songs that I'm ready to see the next thing." Venezuelan producer Arca co-produced ''Vulnicura''. Björk approached Arca after his manager sent her Arca's mixtape ''&&&&&'' (2013); Arca then DJ'ed at Björk's Biophilia Tour afterparty and the two started working together afterwards.〔 Björk was not aware of Arca's work with Kanye West and FKA twigs (on ''Yeezus'' and ''EP2'', 2013) but she soon appreciated it along with Arca's knowledge of her own discography.〔 Arca described working with Björk, which he refers as a musical inspiration, as "healing", and said: "The way she exists as a human is a big influence on the way I exist as a human."〔 On 7 October 2014, Björk announced on her Facebook page that she would not attend the British premiere of her concert film ''Björk: Biophilia Live'' at the BFI London Film Festival because she was too busy working on the album, and confirmed a 2015 release date. British musician and producer The Haxan Cloak announced on Twitter on 6 January 2015 that he had worked on the album, calling the collaboration "an honour". On 14 January 2015, Björk posted a handwritten note on her Facebook page announcing the album's title, ''Vulnicura'', its track list and a March 2015 release date. ''Vulnicura'' means "Cure for Wounds" (Vulnus + Cura), and Björk described it as "a more traditional album than ''Biophilia'' for what concerns songwriting. It's about what may come to a person at the end of a relationship. It talks about the dialogues we may have in our heads and in our hearts, the healing processes." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vulnicura」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
