The Icelandic legend known as Bjork took on Joy Division’s “Love Will Tear Us Apart” at a karaoke rally in Reykjavik on January 6, an event held to collect signatures for a petition against Magma Energy’s proposed energy takeover.

While her choice in song may have been surprising, her appearance surely wasn’t, as the artist and her contemporaries issued a press release ahead of the three-day event that seemed nothing less than magical. Literally:

“Elves, hidden people, sports people, hobby musicians and professionals . . . everyone who cares for Iceland, come and join forces and perform a powerful ode to the nature of Iceland . . . Let’s bring our natural resources back to us with song.”
