Björk — Náttúra (feat. Thom Yorke)
“When I did the gig in the summer [the Náttúra concert] with Sigur Rós and 30,000 people came— which is 10% of the [population of Iceland]— we wanted to raise awareness for the environment. We did that and it was amazing. Then for six weeks, I was in hotel rooms and dressing rooms thinking fuck, that’s not going to do shit. I’m gonna have to have one more whack at it, and try to be functionalist and not just ideological. As much as I don’t want to get my hands dirty— I would rather just do music— I have to follow this up, or it was totally pointless.”
However, immediately after Björk created the Náttúra Foundation, the credit crunch bitchslapped Iceland’s stake in the world market, and their financial system came crashing down. Now, she and her supporters are spearheading the rebirth of Iceland’s economy as a green revolution.
If you like the song, please go to nattura.info and download it for $1.99. All of the procedes go to the Náttúra Foundation.
Don’t really like the song, though I like the messed up rhythm. I used to be a kind-of fan of Bjork, because of her videos as much as of her music, but now I cannot stand to hear her sing any more. I must be getting older. Still I’ll buy the song because the idea / project is great.
