OMG where is this from? 

Looks like they've been uploaded to the code of fossora.com?

 

Imagine if we're getting two new Björk tracks on two consecutive weeks...

IT'S OUT ON APPLE MUSIC

 

Edit: omg the Medúlla and Volta vibes, is prettyyy

[Furor Poeticus 16,308]

Mother is serving looks 

She gagged me with that red dress

[Glitter Boy 16,549]

So I finally managed to listen to Atopos (and also found out Ovule is out so I listened as well) and I actually like them! They're way more dynamic than what I was expecting. Atopos remain my favourite out of the two. Can't wait for the album

[LunaeManifestum 8,282]

I decided to listen to all bjork albums and i began from the beginning im at Vespertine right now and its really shocking she came with such a fresh alternative sound since 1993(??). Ovule sound nice and im really liking the shape of Fossora until now

[jvcx 3,644]

Well the video's nice, she's serving looks but I just don't like the oval shape framing closing in and out. Like it looks cheap and I'd rather see the full shots...  Atopos video remains superior so far.

OMG THE VESPERTINE ERA VIBES WITH THE MV 

[Furor Poeticus 16,308]

I find it funny how this era is a blend of her less liked albums. Medúlla, Volta and Biophilia fused together

Her music has aged so well.

Yes i hear that too, i’m getting major Volta vibes.

[Coney Island King 25,994]

Black Lake is 10 minutes if absolute bliss.

[Furor Poeticus 16,308]

OK Ovule beats Atopos to me. This latest single is beautiful, meandering, meditative. Mother did it again 

Spoiler

Also, red is my favourite colour, so seeing Björk in it makes me delighted 

 

[Furor Poeticus 16,308]

A few weeks ago I listened to all her albums on CDs and WOW this reminded me of everything that made me adore her music. She has never made a single bad song. There’s something to love in every era and Fossora will be no exception

i should admit that these are all from me revisiting her discography (heard it all back in 2018 then i never came back to her for whatever reason) and i will listen to Vulnicura tonight

 

ranking so far would be (best to worst):

 

1. Vespertine
2. Post
3. Biophilia
4. Homogenic
5. Medúlla
6. Volta (clicked last night though, pretty great album)
7. Debut
8. Selmasongs
9. The Music From Drawing Restraint 9 (has some incredible moments but the rest are not as good)

quite curious to see where Vulnicura & Utopia will land on my ranking as the latter was my first Björk album and the album that made me a lot more patient during longer songs (which is pretty huge considering how a lot of my favorite artists make long music)

[CoochieSwirlC 2,064]

Just a reminder that Stonemilker is still the best song of all time. Let's never forget that 

[tt1pdvinyl 251]

oh god im on track 9 of Utopia this album is so much worse than i remembered what the fuck 

 

like its definitely not bad but my god what the FUCK happened after Vulnicura????

 

take all of this with a grain of salt as this is my revisit of the album since 2018 and most albums ive heard in my life grow on me to where i love them

 

ok Tabula Rasa is absolutely gorgeous

The new Pitchfork article was so much fun to read. Absolutely love her
