Sorry I've been a bit lazy with the posts lately, but I have been a combination of busy and, well, a pothead...so it is pretty hard to get things done. Anyway, I was watching some Bjork videos yesterday, and thought it a good idea to post, just in case we haven't seen em.
Bjork- Wanderlust
There is nothing about Bjork that makes me think she is sane. It certainly doesn't help when your videos make you look like a Sami ronin. Nevertheless, the video for Bjork's fourth single off her sixth album, Volta, is about as good as they get. Created by Encyclopedia Productions, Wanderlust uses claymation, animation, CGI, and live action to create the Norse dreamworld through which Bjork wanders.
Bjork- All is Full of Love
From Homogenic, All is Full of Love is a gem of a song. It strikes a balance which is perfect for Bjork, odd and industrial, yet cinematic and catchy. Chris Cunningham exhibits a refined directorial precision and timing allowing us to be enthralled and comfortable, even though the video is so topically strange (lesbian robot stuff).
Bjork- Hyperballad
Michel Gondry directed this stellar video for my what is probably my favorite Bjork Song; Hyperballad. The song comes from the album Post (an essential for anyone with good taste in music). It makes me think of the Matrix in paper-machete, and you can see the influence it had on videos such as Wanderlust.
