Hyper-Ballad

by Björk

Hyper-Ballad cover art

Co-produced with Nellee Hooper and LFO's Mark Bell, this track seamlessly merges soaring, sweeping orchestral pop with the pulsing sub-bass of 1990s IDM. Björk's lyrics narrate a daily ritual of throwing small objects off a cliff to imagine her own death, a dark psychological exercise used to appreciate the safety of returning to her lover's arms. The visually stunning Michel Gondry music video perfectly captured its glitchy, hyper-digital emotionalism.
