Description

Bjork is a singular artist whose work extends beyond her music to include acting and conceptual art. Her latest album, "Fossora," features a bass clarinet ensemble and the accompanying videos evoke mushrooms and tree roots. She talks with Guy about forming her unique vocal style, recording her first album at 11 years old, and why she uses symbols from nature to define each album.Links from the show:An early recording of Bjork singing as a childBjork as a teenager in the band tappi tíkarrassBjork in the video for the Sugarcubes' "Cold Sweat"Slant Magazine's 15 Best Bjork videos The video for Bjork's "Hyperballad"The video for Bjork's "Ancestress" dedicated to the memory of her motherThe video for Bjork's "Atopos"See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
