Deluxe edition hardbound 20-page book with CD wallet.
Fossora is the 10th album from singular icon Björk.
Its name is derived from the feminine version of the Latin word for digger, and draws from Björk’s experience being grounded during lockdown in her native Iceland.
Using her characteristically eclectic musical style, Björk folds in different influences and styles on Fossora. Amidst earthy bass clarinets and tender thematic explorations into her ancestry are vigorous gabber eruptions, culminating in a sort of “biological techno”.
The end result is a mixture of the fantastical and the personal - a bold artistic excursion from a distinctly individual, restless creative force.
The album was partially inspired by the 2018 death of Björk's mother, Hildur Rúna Hauksdóttir, particularly the songs "Sorrowful Soil" and "Ancestress". The album features contributions from American singer Serpentwithfeet, Björk's two children Sindri and Ísadóra, Indonesian dance duo Gabber Modus Operandi, and a bass clarinet sextet.

Don't Buy Anywhere Else!
Sent In By: David on 5 May 2024I'm in Brisbane and I've been buying from Discrepancy Records for a number of years now. The range far exceeds anything available locally (new, used and RSD releases). Every single time, the records arrive incredibly well packaged (Australia Post-proof!) and my latest purchase - Pink Floyd, The Dark Side Of The Moon (UV printed) - was no exception. Quite simply, I won't buy anywhere else and I'd advise anyone who is serious about range, quality and service to do the same.
