Watch: Wildbirds & Peacedrums cover Björk
JoeDiddly by Luke Slater August 31st, 2010

We like Björk here. We also like Swedish duo Wildbirds & Peacedrums, so...well, you can understand what's happening here from the headline. As part of the 2010 Polar Music Prize the Swedish duo covered the Icelandic pop princess - 'Human Behaviour' to be precise.

This is apparently on Swedish television but happens to be in English. I'm down with that, I guess it has to be for the international audiences, right? Absolut. It's all very polite and curteous and you can watch the video below, it's great. There is, however, a comment I'd like to make which I can't on grounds of taste. It has to do with the singing voice at the start. Maybe you'll think the same as me. Wildbirds come in around six minutes but Robyn performs before that. Up to you...

Wildbirds and their drums of peace head over to London to perform at the Union Chapel on November 27, a Saturday. Ironically enough they are performing with the Roundhouse Experimental Choir, which should be both a sight to see and a treat on the ears. Get yourself tickets from here.
