Video Premiere: Björk - Black Lake
The video for Björk's Vulnicura epos Black Lake has been screening at the MoMA in New York for the last three months. Here it finally is online and honestly we can all go home now. It's the definite breakup song and the visuals are piercing to say the least and magnificent. Shot on Iceland in the highlands it tells a dark story of utter heartbreak. The video is brilliantly directed by Andrew Thomas Huang and goes above and beyond to really hammer the message home. Watching it makes you feel a bit powerless since the only thing you wanna do is stop Björk from hurting. It's hypnotizing to watch the darkness surround her and her Iris van Herpen outfits truly makes her become one with nature. The ending gives a sigh of relief until that moment you realize; where is she going?
