Countermeasure – Unravel (Björk cover) (Live at Loft Heaven)

Back in 2009, our Music Director Aaron Jensen was commissioned to arrange this piece for the GRAMMY award-winning UK vocal group, The Swingles for their album Ferris Wheels. He later expanded the arrangement into a ten minute orchestral + vocal piece. The Swingles performed it with orchestras in Italy, France, and Brazil. When they retired the tune, Countermeasure snapped it back up. Aaron has always loved Björk's music, as does Elana (who is the soloist on this song).

The vocal arrangement responds to the lyric of the piece - it starts off as a single thread, which "unravels like a ball of yarn" as the piece progresses.

Countermeasure has had the pleasure of sharing the stage with the Swingles several times (both in Canada and in the U.K.)

It's been a real pleasure to work this song back into our repertoire. We hope you enjoy this live performance that was filmed at Loft Heaven on our last tour in Japan in 2019. Let us know what you think in the comments!
