I was just thinking that - except this one doesn't have the same intensity, passion, or range.  Having said that, I like this song.
 
Me too. Nice chill out tune.

 This song reminds me of my trip to Iceland. Mountains, sky, and ocean along with sodden ground.

Yes, a similarity, but that singing style, with the sharp enunciation and lingering on select syllables, was not "invented" by Bjork.  There were many nightclub and torch singers of the 1950's and 60's who sang that way, particularly if English was not their first language.  However, the fact that both singers are from the same country would have likely something to do with the similarities in their voices and styles.  Anyhow, I also like this song.

I went to Iceland a few years back and this song captures the nature of the north country or anything outside of the capital...grin. Love this song!

Yeah, as with the last song (Autamata-Jellyman), and about 1038 others. This kind of singing and voice is really getting old fast.

Funny that...I must be the only one whose first thought was that this sounds a little like a Fiona Apple number. Very nice though.

I think "sounds like Björk" have been said often enough now...
Someone asked (long time ago) if she released some more. Yes, she did. "Merman" with many fantastically covered songs and "Fisherman's Woman" which seems to be already known...
It's fascinating how varied her albums are compared to each other.
