» Pitchfork: Bjork Discusses "Independence", Videos, Grammys
What better way to start a new year than a talk with Björk? The Icelandic superstar has already set 2008 off with a bang, releasing “Declare Independence”, the third single from her latest album, Volta, on January 1. (The accompanying video, which premiered in December, reunited Björk with director Michel Gondry, who helmed such classic clips as “Human Behaviour” and “Army of Me”.) Shortly before the holiday break, we chatted with Björk about “Declare Independence”: the song, the video, and the remixes. We also got an update on the video for the Antony duet “Dull Flame of Desire”, as well as Björk’s thoughts about a certain music industry award.
