Bjork: The Icelandic Superstar on Being a Child Prodigy, the Power of Nature, and How to Stay Creative
Listen to this Episode Now
Bjork is a singular artist whose work extends beyond her music to include acting and conceptual art. Her latest album, "Fossora," features a bass clarinet ensemble and the accompanying videos evoke mushrooms and tree roots. She talks with Guy about forming her unique vocal style, recording her first album at 11 years old, and why she uses symbols from nature to define each album.
