Björk has released the first video from “Vulnicura”. It’s for the album’s second track, “Lionsong”, and features some fleshy wobbly shapes, and Björk herself performing the song in the already-iconic outfit seen in the album artwork.

The video was made with Björk’s long-time visual collaborators Inez & Vinoodh, who said: “Björk’s character for ‘Lionsong’ had to be smooth like a spider waiting in her web, and seductive like a Balinese dancer cast in bronze. She is seen as if under a microscope, baring her heart while luring us inside the bloody galaxy of her own wound.”
