Bjork says she's been recording new songs for her new album with Japanese beatbox artist Dokaka.

Dokaka collaborated with the Icelandic singer on tracks for the untitled album at a New York recording studio.

According to Bjork's official website the album is due for release later this year.

Dokaka's acapella versions of classic songs such as Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit, King Crimson's 21st Century Schizoid Man and the Allman Brothers' Ramblin' Man, have helped make him a popular artist in Japan.

Examples of his humming versions of classic tunes are posted at his official website, www.dokaka.com.

Bjork released her last studio album, Verspertine, in 2001. She's also reported to be planning to separately release albums contained in her Live Box set which came out last summer.

The albums - Debut Live, Post Live, Homogenic Live and Verspertine Live - are available from Bjork's website and are released separately in June on One Little Indian Records

and more news from sobjork.tk:

- Björk is now recording her new album in the Canary islands, Brazil and New York. Recording is expected to finish around May-June and the album will be released later this year.

- Many people are working with Björk on this new LP, people like Valgeir Sigurdsson [who worked on Vespertine as a programmer, and mixed the Homogenic and Vespertine Live albums], Mark Bell [who also worked with her on Vespertine, and was the main producer on Homogenic] plus the USA-Brazilian musician Arto Lindsay [and also percussionist Ile Ayè].

- Will Oldham was expected to sing with Björk on this record but it is very unlikely now after the accident which happened for Oldham.
