Data Insight

Nine tracks, all hers, six with nobody else. Arca produces almost all of it and co-writes only two, which is unusual on a Björk record: her producers usually end up further into the credits. The subject is as personal as her writing has been and the credit line matches it.

Vulnicura came out on One Little Indian in January 2015, brought forward two months after the record leaked online, and follows the end of her relationship with Matthew Barney track by track. Arca co-produced most of it.
