Music video

Björk in the music video.

The music video, directed by Encyclopedia Pictura in New York City in stereoscopic 3D,[4] 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, Björk on the back of one of the buffalos. Then, a doppelganger comes out of her backpack and tries to attack her throughout the video. Finally, a god creates a waterfall and Björk eventually falls into the water, where a pair of God-like hands capture her.

Björk has performed the song during every show of her Volta tour. [5] She also performed the song at Saturday Night Live on April 21, 2007[6] and at Late Night with Conan O'Brien on September 27, 2007. [7]

It has so far peaked at #26 on the iTunes top albums chart and at #8 on the Alternative Chart on iTunes.
