Icelandic singer-songwriter Björk has shared the music video for her song “Sorrowful Soil.” The track is off her latest album fossora, out now via One Little Independent Records.
The music video, directed by Viðar Logi, features Björk performing the ballad at the recently erupted volcano Fagradalsfjall on the Reykjanes peninsula in Iceland. After being dormant for six thousand years until 2021, the landscape makes for an aesthetic backdrop for the song and video.
