Footage and reports from the Manchester International Festival, where Björk has set up an elaborate multimedia live presentation of her new album, Biophilia, have begun to surface, including a glimpse at a Tesla coil used for the song “Thunderbolt,” a gravitational harp-pendulum for “Solstice,” and other wonderfully unusual installations/instruments. Performance videos are sure to arrive over the course of the remaining week-long run, but for now, enjoy the live debut of “Crystalline” streaming above. *Update: More clips are below:
