Micachu & The Shapes video premiered...

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 12:03:00 +0000

Here is a first for bjork.com: A video premiere by another artist! Micachu & the Shapes have a new song Turn Me Well which is released 15th of September on RoughTradeRecords

For us MWC of bjork.com, who have actually a bit of an attention span, remember Björk talking about Micachu on NPR not so long ago when she said:
"I saw her in London, in June, a year ago and I was really excited about her. I thought it was that sort of 'do it yourself' approach, with all these little guitars and her attitude was really fresh… think it's really, really fun. (She)is a bit of a prankster really, isn't she?"
So when asked if this would be a possibility for Micachu it as a straight yes from Björk.

And now Micachu is playing the Icelandairwaves festival in Reykjavík in October, and the video being premiered on bjork.com? is there a connection? We like to think so!

Ladies and Gentlemen, we present to you: Turn Me Well by Micachu and The Shapes

[p.s. The "Turn Me Well" 7" is out October 5 in the UK, and Micachu's album Jewellery can be purchased at iTunes]

MTV VMA nomination for Human Behaviour...

Fri, 07 Aug 2009 08:21:00 +0000

The video for Human Behaviour is nominated for Best Video (That Should Have Won A Moonman) at this year's MTV Video Music Awards. Go drop a vote if you fancy!!

"Björk plays Goldilocks, plants a flag on the moon, gets eaten by a teddy bear, and it still wasn't enough to win in 1994. After six VMA nominations, maybe seventh time is the charm for Bjork."
