Remember yesterday, when we reported that Björk had set a tentative May 7 release date for her new album? Well, in the "Future Releases, Radio + TV section" of her website, where it used to say "07.05.07 - New Album (tbc)", it now says "XX.0X.07 - New Album (tbc)."

However, that listing comes between her April 27 Coachella appearance and her June 29 Open'er appearance. So we think that means the new album is coming out sometime in May or June.

Also, as astute reader John Foley pointed out, the British website Play.com has a listing for a Björk album called Totempole coming out May 7. So right now, you can buy the album, but it doesn't technically exist yet.

I'm wondering if this will turn out to be a fake title or codename like "Domestica" was to "Vespertine" or "Organcries" and "The Lake Album" were to "Medulla". It's a cool word, but I'm not sure I buy it as a Bjork album title just yet.

It's a rather falic album title! I think it will be gay culture classic. Maybe she will duet with La Toya

I love the release date though!

Maybe we should have a bjork album naming contest thingy.

Mutant Freaks!

The album title will most likely be a word that is not common. And probably just one word.

(Actually I'd be even happier if it was titled Aunt Ethel )

You see, Aunt Ethel is like my alter ego spirit guide, who pushes me through the forests when everybody is sleeping and she brings with her all these winged housecats that she carries on leashes, and as Aunt Ethel I am able to express to the world all of the hidden fantasies of the dead and inner beauty, and the cats throw up hairballs made of golden thread and we all get drunk and eat waffles in a boat, and I wanted that to translate directly into my music.
