News from Crazy Auntie Björk
Beloved crazy person Björk just released a new single from her album Volta that came out last summer. It’s called Declare Independace and it’s quite catchy actually. We could see this becoming a classic on the dancefloors of the alternative club scene. It’s one of the most interesting songs of the album that came out more experimental than fans anticipated. We actually don’t like the album that much because it has only a handful of songs that are enjoyable to listen to. Her previous album Medulla which was back then called the most unaccessable Bjork album has way more to offer. But we are pleased that she decided to release this particular song because it is one of the most controversial songs she has done so far. It reminds us a lot of Peaches by the way. The video was directed by long time collaborator Michael Gondry. The single includes remixes of Ghostigital (mostly noise and funny sounds) and Mathew Herbert (actually better than the album version, quite dark and grungy). See the video and listen to the remixes after the jump.

I love Declare, but it’s nothing so new for Bjork actually..it’s nothing more than a new version of “Pluto” from the Homogenic album.

It reminds me a lot of Pluto too. But only because it’s also a powerfull and noisy song. But while Pluto sounds more diffuse Declare has more of a song structure to it.

Yes, I agree but is some wasy the song structure is the smae.
Anyway, the video for the song is nothing special..too bad becase I was very happe about another collaboration between Bjork and Gondry.The remixes are nothing special too.
