NEWS// Bjork: Virus MP3

Bjork's multimedia project 'Biophilia' is now well underway. After both 'Crystalline' and 'Cosmology', we've now been treated to the surreal and dreamy 'Virus'. The only other use of germs as a metaphor for love that I can think of is Nivana's 'Drain You', but Bjork's version is all the more sugary. The song wanders along a moonlit promenade as the Icelandic beauty's whimsical voice sings with a certain strength. Warm bass oozes under a tinkling percussion canopy and it all just sounds... rather wondrous indeed.
