New Music: Bjork: "The Boho Dance" [Stream]
Joni Mitchell's tribute album has a great list of contributors-- Sufjan Stevens and Prince included. Björk's contribution comes off better than Stevens'. Stevens re-imagined Joni Mitchell's song as a brighter, orchestrated TV show theme, but Björk has a minimal take on the Hissing of Summer Lawns track: chimes, musical box melodies, and a few reverso-sound effects make up the whole track. Her voice stays front and center throughout.
