Bjork in Malta

Bjork's album, Volta, is all about "travel-worship", from STV:
The Icelandic singer recorded most of her new LP 'Volta' while sailing the world with partner Matthew Barney and five-year-old daughter Isadora on the family's 90ft motorboat.

She said: "Travel, I could write a book on it. If 'Vespertine' and 'Medulla' were albums that romanticised domesticity, 'Volta' is more of a travel-worship thing. It's been about one-and-a-half years since we got the boat, and we've already been to Malta, Tunisia and Gibraltar. We sailed down to Mexico and Guatemala, too.

"Quite a lot of 'Volta' was actually recorded at sea." Bjork - who brings her 'Volta' tour to the UK later this month - also revealed the only religion she worships is nature.

She explained: "Religion isn't about speaking and it isn't about people, it's a cosmic thing about your place in nature and space. "When I'm in nature everything falls into place. I'm just one tiny piece of a big jigsaw puzzle and I like that."
