If you want to hear the new Björk album Vulnicura, it looks like you're going to have to buy it the good ol' fashioned way. Following in the highly publicized footsteps of Taylor Swift, Björk has revealed that she will not be adding her ninth studio album to streaming services such as Spotify.

In a new interview with Fast Company, Björk said that she was just making up her album rollout plan as she went, but that streaming wasn't for her.

"I would like to say there's some master plan going on [with the album release], but there isn't. But a few months ago I emailed my manager and said, "Guess what? This streaming thing just does not feel right. I don't know why, but it just seems insane," she said. "To work on something for two or three years and then just, Oh, here it is for free. It's not about the money; it's about respect, you know? Respect for the craft and the amount of work you put into it."

Björk admitted that she's not wholly opposed to streaming her album... someday, claiming that Netflix's delayed release model may work for her.

"But maybe Netflix is a good model. You go first to the cinema and after a while it will come on ­Netflix. Maybe that's the way to go with streaming," she said. "It's first physical and then maybe you can stream it later."

Despite not releasing Vulnicura on Spotify, Björk's past discography is on the streaming service, including her 2014 album Vespertine Love.
