Björk has released a new video for Arisen My Senses – the first track off her 2017 album Utopia.
Featuring Crack Magazine’s December cover star Arca, the visual involves collaborators Jesse Kanda and James Merry. Slug-like creatures writhe, and the Icelandic artist can be seen resting in a womb-like tube.
In Arca’s Crack cover story, Björk said on working with the artist, “It has been incredibly lush to follow Alejandro grow for the time I’ve known him. It has been a steep glorious curve! His musical DNA is fierce and stubborn but also full of effortless genius flow. And he so rarely carries a talent for both being a luminous visionary and having telepathic capability of knowing other’s musical needs and being able to create them. I am so excited about his future!”
