I have to confess I am not the biggest Björk fan. So when this release came through about her latest realise and video I must admit I just yawned. So when I was assigned the task of watching and listening to her track ‘fossora’ let’s say I was resigned to the task rather than excited. I was still in bad mood with the artist for her stagnant performance at last year’s BlueDot festival. I do love Björk when she goes all fun and pop but she performed with an orchestra and it was so dry, so dull, no spirit. After watching the video though I was in a sate of shock. Nice shock. Björk has become my new hero. This is an exhilarating ride into a surreal musical world that wraps around you and that you never want to leave. I think she has been on some strange Icelandic mushrooms as they make an appearance in vivid colours as a backdrop as Björk herself dances, yes dances, in psychedelic garb. The music is a blast too. Kind of psychotic jazz with electronic fizz. It started off in pixie Pink Floyd nursery rhyme mode but all of a sudden goes all Kraftwerk rave. What the hell? I loved it. This is the Björk I like. She can then take you to places that no other artists can. The video is an extension of the world she moulded for the album and sees her perform alongside clarinet sextet Murmuri and Kasimyn of Gabber Modus Operandi, against an unfolding backdrop of glistening spores that multiply, grow, and pulsate as the track’s intensity reaches its peak. The title track is taken from her Grammy-nominated album ‘fossora’ ‘fossora’ is available to stream and buy now www.bjork.com Directors: Björk, Viðar Logi, M/M (Paris) and FutureDeluxe Musicians: Aditya Surya Raruna “Kas”, Baldvin Ingvar Tryggvason, Grímur Helgason, Hilma Kristín Sveinsdóttir, Helga Björg Arnardóttir, Kristín Þóra Pétursdóttir, Rúnar Óskarsson, Matthías Birgir Nardeau Björk Dress: Richard Malone Live dates More Björk at www.bjork.com from www.fluxmagazine.com |
