they meet again

"Declare Independence"
Bjork
dir., Michel Gondry
2007

At least someone still gives a damn about music videos and knows exactly how to translate the poetry of their song to the power of a visual canvas. I'm really surprised such an aggressive, agitating song was chosen as a single, much less worthy of music video material, but not so surprisingly Bjork once again waves something in our faces that is a little scary and odd but all her own. It's not sexy, somewhat discordant, and the edge is hard and uncompromising, which can also be said for the song's enigmatic creator.
