Björk Tattoos Alien Life Into Your Brain With Endlessly Haunting 'Losss' Video

Björk practically dares you to prepare sense of her wondrous and frightfully bizarre artistry. She's released a video for "Losss" from her 2017 album, Utopia. Designed for the numerous screen viewing of her Cornucopia theatrical live show, "Losss" is alien, alarming, symbiotic, skin-raising, creepy-crawly, trypophobic, and, above all things, stunning. It's an one-of-a-kind, immersive experience that exists on the fringes of reality and is hard to imagine that it takes place on this planet, let alone in the solar system.


It's hard to describe "Losss" with words. There's a darkness to it, somewhere between peaceful and nightmarish. Perhaps it's on the bottom of the seafloor that remains undiscovered in some places, house to another world of life that isn't meant to be seen by mortal eyes. Its piercing timbre melts into your ears as what we visualize onscreen crawls onto our skin. Two identical, symbiotic, otherworldly creatures push and pull in a tangle of each other's strings, their faces mutating in bubbling white and red puffs. It's disgusting yet addictive and haunting to watch.


These faces change, yet the words coming out never. They're singing "Losss"'s relaxing chants while nearly kissing each other. These faces grow fur on them and expand into vaguely human faces, before turning into wolven fur and pearls. They morph again into a mouth that looks like a cross between butterfly as well as a fish. Eventually, the two creatures return to the opening forms that they took and float around each other before coming with each other for eternity.


In the bio for the video on YouTube, Björk elaborated on what the video about, nevertheless she didn't give any details as to what it means: "We based it on the conversations between our inner optimist and pessimist, While I recorded this I attempted to sing in a deeper tone for one of those and in case you listen on headphones it will match the imagery."
