Turns out "Nattura", the forthcoming Björk single with Thom Yorke, features contributions from a few other noteworthy folks-- but alas, none of them have an "ork" in their names. (Still, can you imagine what a Björk/Yorke/Mork/Swedish Chef song might sound like?)

Conceptual electronic guru and Björk remixer Matthew Herbert added synth and bass, while a pair of past Björk collaborators helped put the track together: Lightning Bolt's Brian Chippendale played drums on the track, and Mark Bell of LFO (but not that LFO) and Clark (but not that Clark) contributed beats.

As previously reported, One Little Indian will release "Nattura" on October 20, but according to new release information, it's an iTunes exclusive until the track's wide digital release on October 27.

Meanwhile, there's an interesting tidbit about the nature of Thom Yorke's contribution to the track in a recent Billboard.com story: "According to Radiohead's management, Yorke hasn't recorded anything new with Björk, although the possibility remains that his contribution is a sample or was taped at some point in the past." There's no word just yet from One Little Indian or Björk's camp on how Yorke's backing vocals came to be on the track. Update: according to Björk's publicist, "Björk and Thom did collaborate on [the] single during the summer while Björk was on tour. All parties involved shared various files and Björk produced the resulting song." So there you go.

Also, as suspected, all proceeds from the single's sales will benefit Náttúra, the Icelandic environmental campaign from which the song gets its name. Out of respect for the cause it benefits, we have removed the stream from our Forkcast post on the song.
