Bjork has worked with a typically eclectic crew of collaborators on her next album, due in late spring via Atlantic. According to a post on the artist's Web site, the as-yet-untitled album features two tracks produced by Timbaland and another two featuring vocals by Antony Hegarty of Antony and the Johnsons.

Additional guest appearances have been turned in by Toumani Diabate on kora, Konono No. 1 on electric thumb piano and drumming from Lightning Bolt's Brian Chippendale. "This record is a Bjork production par excellence," the site says. "No stone left unturned to seek out the perfect pitch."

The new album is Bjork's first since 2004's stark "Medulla," which boasted contributions from Mike Patton, Rahzel, Matmos and Robert Wyatt.

Bjork's site also confirms the Icelandic singer will return to the road this year. Billboard.com understands she may appear at a major U.S. festival in the coming months. *COACHELLA*

Whoa, it should be interesting. I can't fucking wait.

Same here! I really liked Medulla, she always is pushing the envelope!

I'm just starting to get into Bjork. I listened to Vespertine on headphones last night and really got into it.

Tonight I'm going to buy Debut, Post and Homogenic.

Medulla sounds too intimidating for me at this stage.

The description of her new album sounds interesting though.

i guess i'm excited in a way but this doesn't sound appealing at all.

the coachella is just a rumour. the all tomorrow's parties website posted that bjork couldn't play since she would be on tour in america at that time - so everyone just automatically assumed coachella.
