Björk hasn’t performed on TV in 8 years and this, as anyone who’s seen clips of her shows will tell you, is a real shame. After biding her time for nearly a decade, perhaps spending this period fully considering the ways in which studio lights reflect off glitter paint and plumes of costume feathers, the Icelandic artist has finally returned for a set on BBC 2's Later … with Jools Holland.
The two songs available online include “Courtship,” from last year’s excellent Utopia, and a gentler version of “The Anchor Song” (from 1993's Debut) that replaces the original’s saxophones with flutes.
