Bjork Screens "Wanderlust" Video for Record Store Day
For one day this month, wanderlust will be more than a yearning felt in isolation while staring out of an office-building window. That day is April 19, aka Record Store Day, and the "Wanderlust" of which we speak is Björk's.
Björk joins Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks, Vampire Weekend, and many, many other artists in celebrating the independent record store, but instead of releasing some sort of exclusive vinyl, she's screening the 3-D video for fourth Volta single "Wanderlust".
Over 300 shops will hand out 10,000 3-D glasses for people to watch the video on in-store kiosks. For a full list of the stores participating, head to recordstoreday.com.
The physical release of "Wanderlust" in the UK via One Little Indian, meanwhile, has been bumped from its previously reported release date of April 14. No word just yet on a new date for that one.
Björk fans will also be thrilled to know that Toumani Diabaté, who plays kora on Volta, will join Björk's band at each of her three upcoming London gigs.
