Round are way anticipation is sky high for the new Bjork gig on March 28th, I am going to see at City Center and being a huge huge fan of Vulnicura, I won’t have to do too much listening to get a handle on the set list. Though I sure do have one question, why if she hates Spotify, who do pay her, does she put her music on youtube?
Youtube? Yep, here is the video for the gorgeous second track, “Lionsong” on the newbie. It looked to me, her larynx, like a vagina, and I am guessing either I have a dirty mind, or it was intentional, or both. The song is a beauty but you know that, a before the fall love song: “maybe he will come out of this loving me, maybe he won’t…”
This is what the folks from Vice have to say about the Video (they premiered it here:
“One of the most unforgettable and foreboding tracks on Björk’s latest record Vulnicura, “Lionsong”, has been given visual accompaniment from the spikey hivemind of Bjork and her longtime collaborators, Dutch creative duo Inez & Vinoodh.
The video is drenched in a dark other-worldliness, with Bjork’s body features warped to look almost tentacular. And the capricious mood of the track is perfectly encapsulated in the recurring image of an abnormal heart beating like a caged bird in a shroud of infinite blackness.
Of the video, Inez & Vinoodh said: “Björk’s character for ‘Lionsong’ had to be smooth like a spider waiting in her web and seductive like a Balinese dancer cast in bronze. She is seen as if under a microscope, baring her heart while luring us inside the bloody galaxy of her own wound.”
