BJRK – FOSSORA – SILVER Vinyl Record 2LP Import

Description

Indie Vinyl Den presents BJRK – FOSSORA -SILVER Color Vinyl Record 2LP Import

Bjrk’s tenth studio album, Fossora, takes listeners on an emotional journey of isolation, loss, and grief. The album was recorded during the pandemic and centers around the death of Bjrk’s mother, Hildur Runa Hauksdttir, in 2018. The album debuted at number 11 on the UK Albums Chart and number 100 on the US Billboard 200. Fossora earned Bjrk her ninth consecutive Best Alternative Music Album nomination at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards.

The album features contributions from various artists, including American singer Serpentwithfeet, Indonesian dance duo Gabber Modus Operandi, and bass clarinet sextet Murmuri. Fossora’s title, an ungrammatical feminine version of the Latin word for “digger,” reflects its themes of digging into grief and loss. The album’s sound draws on Iceland’s choral and folk traditions, featuring strings programmed at Bjrk’s local coffee shop. Fungus is a metaphor for the album’s survival, death, and ecological meditation themes. Fossora stands in contrast to Bjrk’s previous album, Utopia, with the latter being a “skybound haven” and the former marking her return to Earth.
