New episodes will come out every Friday, beginning on January 15 with an episode featuring Moses Sumney.
On Instagram, Björk wrote that she is “quite thrilled to have had a reason to go through 21 years of music-file collecting.” She added: “since my first laptop i have been cd shopping, awkward cassette finding, vinyl searching in secret stores on my travels and gathered them all into a library of gorgeous wave-files. it was only a question of time before i would share them and then in yet another form: them clouds and streams . a lot of my heart belongs there … unbelievable memories with friends, loved ones, dj-ing in little bars, all sorts of occasions possible, in boats, cars, planes. here is music for weddings, solitudes, dancing, friendly chess matches or hikes… i thank all the musicians who have saved my life repeatedly through the years and hope you enjoy this as much as i have.”
In a statement, twigs said: “As an artist I’ve always been inspired by music that creates a world. 360° visionaries like Prince, André 3000 and Grace Jones have always made me fall in love with music over and over again.” The main squeeze station, she adds: “includes all the amazing artists that have helped shape my world – music I like to get ready to with my friends, songs that have got me through heartbreaks, backstage nerves, and nights out.”
