Björk to release soundtrack record this summer

The record is to be released in July, following the film's Japanese premier on July 1st. Directed by Björk's beau Matthew Barney, Drawing Restraint 9 is the latest (the ninth, d'uh) in a series of films exploring the relationship between humans and their everyday surroundings - not exactly a summer blockbuster, then.

The music is based largely around a Japanese instrument called a sho, which has 17 reeds, and will feature Noh voice techniques previously heard on last album proper Medulla.
