A dazzling concert in every sense
Bjork is famed for her eccentric fashion taste and avant-garde music - and to some she is an acquired taste, but for this concert her distinct style is undeniably a feast for both the eyes and the ears.
As much a piece of art as a pop concert, the lighting design, pyrotechnics and costumes are colourfully dazzling. She appears on stage in a brightly coloured, tribal themed outfit with striped face paint across her forehead. She is soon joined by a group of girls who form a creative unit that is part band and part theatrical chorus. Wearing similar tribal outfits with flamboyant head dresses they are raised on a podium as they provide a heavy brass sound to the music. This creates traditional instrumentation for a very untraditional sound that, combined with electronic scoring, creates the Bjork effect that is a fusion of pop, dance, electro and folk.
She skips, claps, chants and sings energetically across the stage – throwing bits of white web out into her audience – whilst singing songs from her 2007 album, Volta.
Watch out for Bjork's costume change into the pink tin foil extravaganza.
