Icelandic artist Bjork has been making a few appearances on the soundwaves as of late. Last week she released a new track last week entitled “The Comet Song” for a new Moomins film. The proceeds of the track will go towards UNICEF’s efforts in Pakistan.
Yesterday Antony and the Johnsons released a track featuring Bjork entitled “Flétta”, off of his forthcoming album Swanlights. A gorgeous tune set to piano, Bjork’s unique voice gives the melody a flighty quality against the melancholic piano accompaniment. You can listen to it HERE.
She always reminds me of the the Elton John line “Oh, they’re weird and they’re wonderful…” from Benni and The Jets. She’s so incredible. It’s like she’s an alien that comes to visit us in our world and play with the musicians here.
