Matthew Herbert Remixes Bjork

Matthew Herbert Remixes Bjork

There it sits at the top of Bjork.com, teasing us: "Matthew Herbert is just finishing two remixes for Björk; 'Wanderlust' and 'Declare Independence'."

Two Volta highlights, reimagined by Matthew Herbert? Score one for us. But then, the tease itself gets toyed with: according to Herbert's site, it's not "Declare Independence" he'll be tinkering with, but rather "Earth Intruders". Well, which is it, kids? Inquiring minds want to know!

No word yet when or where we'll get to hear Herbert's take on the tracks (or just which tracks he's actually messing with) but let it be known that we're excited to hear the results.

In the same Bjork.com update, it's mentioned that Ghostigital are also handling another remix. The new project of Björk's former Sugarcubes bandmate Einar Örn previously tackled "Innocence".

Matthew's got no tour dates that we're aware of, but Björk's probably hanging out in France right now, with a month or so of dates on either side of the pond to follow.
