Album artwork
Fairy tale star BJÖRK released her 10th
album, named FOSSORA last October.
The Iceland celebrity described the new
longplayer as a look at normal daily life.
“Let’s see what it’s like when you walk into this fantasy and, you know,
have a lunch and farrrrt and do normal things, like meet your friends.”
To my ears, the overall sound of the LP isn’t one you hear every day unless
you are a fanatic Björk fan, but it fits flawlessly in her by now imposing catalog.
The new clip she shared for the title track seduced my eyes on the spot. Actually
the best I saw this month. Also one of the best tracks on the album. A flabbergasting
piece of visionary music that starts as a frolic sequence from a lighthearted and brightly colored musical with Björk‘s flamboyant presence and singular vox center-stage. But around the 3-minute mark industrial shock waves work their way up front until the end. Formidable!
The clip is directed by herself, Viðar Logi, M/M (Paris) and Futuredeluxe.
As usual, a visual spectacle.
Roll the tape.

Iceland’s musical nymph BJÖRK released her, critically
lauded ,10th longplayer, named FOSSORA last September.
For SORROWFUL SOIL, one of the LP’s highlights she just shared
a video clip, directed by Viðar Logi, in which Björk is traveling to
Fagradalsfjall, a recently erupted Icelandic volcano.
Björk: “Sorrowful soil is a song I wrote from random improvisations.
I kinda thought I was writing another song but then when I edited it
I threw away most of the stuff and this is what stood there staring at
me. Sorrowful Soil and Ancestress are 2 songs written for my mother.”

Iceland’s heroine BJÖRK released her new,
10th album, named FOSSORA yesterday.
British legendary music magazine NME (New Musical Express) had a weekly
issue until about 6 years ago, and still continues to be a very informative source
for music (and more stuff, like movies, games, books) talked to Björk about her
new record and lots of other things.
5 Quotes
“It’s very much a ‘sit by the fireplace and have a drink
with friends in your living room’ sort of album.”
“I had a really complicated relationship with the US:
the mass murders, the racial violence, Trump.”
“Gen Z-ers are really radical, and I’m relieved
that the environment is a priority for them.”
“I was always quite offended by the way Kate Bush was
written about like she was a crazy witch – or me being
a crazy elf.”
“I’ve written all my scores for 20 years, you know. I’m not bragging,
I’m just saying that because people still want me to be a naive elf.
If we were guys, we would be taken more seriously.”

Artwork new album
The fairytale heroine BJÖRK will launch her
her new – 10th – solo LP Fossora in two weeks,
on 30 September.
The Iceland celebrity describes the new album as a look at normal daily life.
“Let’s see what it’s like when you walk into this fantasy and, you know, have
a lunch and farrrrt and do normal things, like meet your friends.”
Following lead single Atopos we get a second new piece titled OVULE
Björk: “It is a meditation about us as lovers walking around this world and I imagine
2 spheres or satellites following us around. One above us that represents ideal love, one
below us representing the shadows of love and we ourselves walk around in the third
sphere of real love, where the everyday monday-morning meet-in-the-kitchen-love lives in.”
It’s a love song, the Björk way that is,
accompanied (as usual) by a showy video clip.
