If it’s Björk, you know it’s gonna get weird

There’s always been something fascinating about Björk, that not-quite-comprehensible Icelandic queen of electronica music.

For starters, she’s got an umlaut in her name. (How hot is that?) Secondly, she’s got some of the most psychedelic songs and music videos in the industry.

And still, Björk managed to raise the bar with the online release of her newest video, “Wanderlust,” which features an abstract storyline involving yaks and river gods. Oh yeah, and it’s also in 3-D.

Wired.com unveiled the video’s 3-D version yesterday as part of an exclusive release, complete with instructions on how to make your own 3-D glasses, and a substantial set of behind-the-scenes pics and videos.

For the 98 percent of us who don’t want to make 3-D glasses, there’s an equally stunning 2-D version of the video. Otherwise, if you have Quicktime, you have to watch the original version here.

Believe it or not, the only computer-generated footage is the river flow; according to Wired, everything else was filmed in front of a green screen using puppets and basic post-production.

It all reminds me of Spike Jonze’s film adaptation of “Where The Wild Things Are,” which is supposed to hit theaters in October 2009. Check out this leaked test footage to compare.

I think that’s enough abstract stuff for one day.
