Later With Jools Holland
Björk
Later with Jools Holland is an official live-performance video/DVD (often just called Later) collecting Björk's appearances on the BBC TV show Later… with Jools Holland from the mid‑1990s, later expanded to include 2000s performances. The original DVD was released on August 23, 2003 and runs about 42 minutes, featuring seven performances recorded between 1995 and 1997, all of which present reworked versions of album tracks rather than straight reproductions. In 2012 it was reissued as Later with Jools Holland 1995–2011, adding appearances from the Volta and Biophilia eras and situating the release as part of a broader “TV performances” archival series.
The core program captures Björk performing songs such as “Hyperballad,” “Venus as a Boy,” “Possibly Maybe,” “Bachelorette,” “Hunter,” “Jóga,” and the non-album B‑side “So Broken,” each radically rearranged for the live setting. These performances pair her with different ensembles and collaborators: electra strings on “Hyperballad,” Guy Sigsworth on harpsichord for “Venus as a Boy,” a full band with slide guitarist BJ Cole on “Possibly Maybe,” an Icelandic string octet and Mark Bell on “Bachelorette,” “Hunter,” and “Jóga,” and flamenco guitarist Raimundo Amador on “So Broken.” The release is often valued by fans and critics as a document of how she translated—and transformed—her mid‑’90s material in a live context: emphasizing strings, unusual instrumentation, and vocal nuance, and offering a concise visual portrait of her evolution from the Debut/Post era into the more orchestral, emotionally expansive territory that would define Homogenic.
