She has a fine track record of bringing wildly idiosyncratic music to the masses but this is impenetrable even by Björk’s wilful standards. The song is a caustic barrage of thundering IDM rhythms, topped off with the Icelander’s trademark, tremulous wail. Not unlike much of her previous material, then, but it lacks the undercurrent of vulnerability and petrified melody that characterises a great Björk record.

Initially with Volta all the signs look good. It is clearly the liveliest and most outwards looking record she’s made this decade.

Although there's been no official confirmation, the word on the industry grapevine is that this year's Electric Picnic headliners will include Bjork, the Beastie Boys, Primal Scream and Damon Albarn and Paul Simonon's new outfit, The Good, The Bad & The Queen.

“Only connect” was the stern instruction E.M Foster gave to would-be artists. I’ve a feeling he would have liked Bjork.

Medulla left people lost for words - in the best possible way - and this single honours Bjork’s tradition of marrying complexity with atmospheric esoterica. As one of the album’s more accessible tracks, ‘Who Is It’ is the perfect gateway into Bjork’s wonderful, if a little warped, world.

Experimental and ethereal, this is highly unlikely to dominate the daytime playlists.

The vibe this time out is very lush minimalist.

THOSE FAMILIAR with the oeuvre of Iceland's most famous indie-band The Sugarcubes will already be aware that Bjork has a voice that could cut diamonds at fifty paces.
