Music video

Björk in the music video.

The music video, directed by Encyclopedia Pictura in New York City in stereoscopic 3D,[6] involves a mixture of large scale puppeteering, live action acrobatics, miniatures, and CG. It was choreographed by Chris Elam, artistic director of Misnomer Dance, and features Brynne Billingsley and Coco Karol. It officially premiered on Yahoo Music on March 31. In the video, a group of buffalos crowd beside a river bank. Björk, in an ancient Mongolian tribal costume, appears amongst them and creates a river from the ground. She rises up and leads the herd into the river, and they all float downstream, with Björk on the back of one of the buffalos. Throughout the video, a doppelganger comes out of her backpack and tries to attack her. Finally, a god creates a waterfall and Björk falls off the edge and into the water below, where a pair of hands capture her.

Promotion

Björk has performed the song during every show of her Volta tour. [7] She also performed the song on Saturday Night Live on April 21, 2007[8] and on Late Night with Conan O'Brien on September 27, 2007. [9]

Charts

So far, the digital Wanderlust EP has peaked at #26 on the top albums chart and at #8 on the Alternative Chart, both on UK iTunes.
