Bjork is premiering a new video for her stunning track ‘Stonemilker’ and the video is certainly ambitious. Even by Bjork’s standards.
The video, directed by her frequent collaborator Andrew Thomas Huang, is a full 360-degree virtual reality experience. Sadly, if you want to experience it you have to get to New York’s MoMA or to one of the Rough Trade stores in either Brooklyn or London today (March 22).
Bjork released a statement about the experience and said: “this came about as a spontaneous fruit of mine and andrew huang’s collaboration . we had already done black lake , the “family” moving album cover and the black lake “book cover” trailer and then found us in iceland one day with nothing to do and a 360 camera lying about . we discussed its potential for intimacy and andrew then suggested we take it to the beach where the song was written . it immediately rang true for me as that location has a beautiful 360 panoramic view which matches the cyclical fugue like movement in the song . if the song has a shape it is sort of like a circle that just goes onforever.”
Bjork’s latest album Vulnicura is available for physical purchase now. For more information about the experience, visit here.
We were lucky enough to catch the Bjork retrospective in New York, recently. Take a look at our thoughts here.
Bjork will be playing Wilderness festival this summer as well as Manchester's Castlefield Bowl. For more information and tickets visit here.
