Get Your Daily Iconoclastic Fix with Two New Björk Videos
It's been quite a year for Björk fans after a whole lot of prior quiet. Following the release of her riveting, return-to-form album Vulnicura, everyone's favorite experimental Icelandic chanteuse concluded her spring set of seven New York City shows at this weekend's Governors Ball, as well as that reverently-curated though less-than-well-received MOMA career retrospective.
The obvious highlights of the exhibition were Björk's reliably fantastic music videos, two of which the artist has recently posted to her YouTube page. Watch above to see the evocative, enormous short film for Vulnicura's emotionally-volcanic, ten-minute album showstopper "Black Lake." And then scroll down to see the clever, clone-filled 360-degree video for the album-opening heartbreaker "Stonemilker."
Screen the latter on a Google Chrome browser and revel in the beautiful reality that even an infinite amount of Björk clones is somehow not enough to satisfy our appetite for everything this otherworldly goddess has to offer.
