New Music: Bjork: "Innocence" [MySpace]

Seems Björk has stepped out of that big-footed bauble-suit for a moment to serve up Volta's first course on her MySpace, and it's got spice. No full-length "Earth Intruders" yet, but we do get snippets of that and two other songs-- "Wanderlust" and "I See Who You Are"-- as well as the whole of "Innocence", posted in conjunction with her just-announced music video contest.

The latter tune has our Icelandic enigma leveling extremes, proclaiming "The thrill of fear/ Now greatly enjoyed with courage!" in the crevices of rock'em sock'em beats and pesky synth squelches. It's herky-jerky and relentless, lean and masculine, aggressive and confident-- heck, you half-expect Timbaland to pop up and take 'em to that ethereal bridge. Um, is this Björk's "SexyBack"?

Can't wait for her "My Love"...
