One of music's foremost visionaries has unleashed one more mirage upon the world; the video for her new track "Mouth Mantra" is something truly mesmerising.

Kanda shared his own thoughts on the piece, “If there’s one thing I’d like for people to take away from this video, it's the power of vulnerability. That is what Björk’s album Vulnicura is all about to me, and hopefully this video reflects that. It’s about having the courage to express yourself and seeing yourself in that mirror. Doing something that scares the shit out of you and sharing it, growing from it, spreading love and courage to others and making the world a warmer place to be and relate to each other.

Making this video was as much a terrifying horrific experience to me as it was a dream come true and pure ecstasy. It was a year-long roller coaster which triggered and ran parallel to some major growth in my own self as well. I have no words to express how grateful I am to Björk for this extremely intimate creation and her love."

The video will soon become available in 360°. This is the third video from Bjork's latest album Vulnicura, previously releasing pieces for "Stonemilker" and "Black Lake".
