Beloved Icelandic songstress Björk made a super-rare appearance on BBC’s Later… With Jools Holland last night to sing a couple of songs: “Courtship” off her latest album Utopia and her classic “The Anchor Song” from 1993’s Debut. It was the first time in EIGHT years she’s given a televised performance, and she blew everybody away with her vocal prowess, her ever-alluring stage presence, and HOLY MOLEY that new look! DID YOU CLOCK THE NEW LOOK? She and her flock of flautists were all doing that “intergalactic insect” look that originated with German drag queen Hungry (who just happens to be Bjork’s new stylist/makeup artist). And if you don’t follow isshehungry, well, I don’t know that we have anything more to say to each other. She’s only the MOST fascinating queen ON THE PLANET, and one who is really moving the needle on what drag can be. Björk knows it. That’s why she’s hired her to tour with her. Anyway, watch the two performances below and marvel at the brilliant nuttiness of it all.
