Hey, I'm Brian Hyatt, host of the Rolling Stone Music Now podcast.

And right now I wanted to bring you a trailer for another podcast.

It's called Sonic Symbolism, and it's brought to you by Bjork.

The series is brimming with Bjork's music, including

unreleased alternate versions and demos. And it was produced by Christian Coons, who's best known for

the podcast Song Exploder. And it's brought to you by Melchimp Presents and Talkhouse.

Bjork is famously press shy and private, but this series features six hours of her talking

about her music in life.

Basically, it's Bjork telling the story of each of her albums in her own words.

Bjork played an extremely active role in the making of this series, including all the song choices and even down to the episode descriptions.

Much as with her album, she tinkered with the and even down to the episode descriptions.

Much as with her album, she tinkered with the series up until each episode's completion.

Sonic symbolism launches weekly on Thursdays,

and there's already five episodes available.

but for me it is simply describing the sound of it. I try to express this with a color palette, the

textures of the textiles, with what I'm holding and the ankle of the posture I'm in shows its relationship to the world.
