Around the time Björk released her ninth adult solo album, 2017's Utopia, she suggested she was planning a live version of the LP with even more flutes. Given the amount of flutes already on that record, this seemed more like a threat than anything. It hasn’t materialized thus far, but Björk is nevertheless delivering more flutes in the form of a “box set” of 14 “handmade birdcall flutes that have been individually selected by Björk” called the Utopia Birdcall Box Set. If that’s not sufficiently conceptually indulgent, consider the price: £500.00. Today that’s $607.33, though given the shaky state of the British economy with Brexit looming, you may be able to get this for the price of a cup of coffee by the time its November 1 release date rolls around.
