Anthem of the Day (Part 2)

Yellow April #2
Björk Guðmundsdóttir & tríó Guðmundar Ingólfssonar - Gling-Gló, 1990.

Yep, it’s the Björk you’re thinking of.
She put out this album towards the end of The Sugarcubes, and prior to beginning her formal solo career (not counting the album she put out as a child).
She teamed up with an Icelandic jazz trio to make this one, and it very well may be my favorite Björk-related release. Her voice is one of my favorites in the world, and it’s so well-suited for jazz. Love this one.

And actually prior to this, I had never thought to look if they had ever performed together live as a group. Great performance. Unfortunately the audio is a bit on the quiet side.
