As the new Bjork/Matthew Barney film Drawing Restraint 9 approaches broad release, it's interesting to read this Guardian interview with the Icelandic lady herself.

I like best how she describes her fans:

"You've got happy, sad, angry, confused, and then all the 50,000 other colours that a human feels. And if one song is just about turquoise blue - that can mean a lot of things; that [can mean the way] you feel about apples, and your brother, and your wooden bed from your childhood. And you would sing about that in one song, and people might say, 'Oh, it's about her boyfriend.' But that's OK. It doesn't matter. What's important is that I capture that turquoise-blue thing. If I do my job right."
