Bjork.com has just announced upcoming tour dates for the U.S. and Canada. Seattle’s never been too lucky when it comes to Björk. She played at the Kitsap County Fairgrounds in ‘95. And in 2003, when she played at the Pier, the monitor/soundsystem was a tad shittay (she even mumbles as such in the pirated recording), so she didn’t even do any encores.

But this May will see her play Vancouver on the 23rd and Sasquatch a few days later. You’d better believe I’m headed to both. Bjork.com will also be providing a presale on tickets 48 hours prior to the public sale.

Oh, hay. And check out the first promotional shot for the new album:

I’m pretty sure this isn’t exactly the cover of the album (the pattern has been for the album to be a straight-on shot of her), but I mean… Tribal nu-rave crochet? Of course! And those flames spell out Volta, with the “T” topped off with the beginnings of Björk’s name. If anyone’s an Earth Intruder, it’s Miss B.

Now if only a track would leak.
