Björk - Fossora

A böps album would be such a cunty move. We know she listens to Charli xcx, C & C Music Factory and Boney M at home.
It’s time for it. But she’s also somehow opposed to go what people expect or hope for, so we will get another album focused on some annoying instrument.

Saying this with all the love for her last couple albums.
 
We'll never get another pop album from her (though I do find the comment about not understanding people saying she used to to be a lot more pop earlier in her career a bit weird, like, maybe you're due for a discography relisten @björk), but Fossora felt like a step in the right direction, so to speak, and it'll be great if we keep getting songs like Atopos to go with the less instant material.

She listens to bops but channels it into her experimental ways. It’s her thing at this point, and I love her all the more for it.
Yeah, at this point the dichotomy of Björk listening to Kelis and Vengaboys in her spare time vs. making something like Fossora (and describing it as "rave inspired") is fascinating to me.

I love the house influence on Debut and to a lesser extent Post, and if she wanted to do more of that, not only would I not complain, but there are several viable collaborative paths she could take - someone like Nina Kraviz would probably gel with her creatively. But more than bjöps, I find myself wishing the most for her to revisit the sound of something like Play Dead through a modern lens. I think, ironically, it'd be more of an experiment for her nowadays.

Overall, though, I'm down for whatever from her and grateful grapefruit that she still feels the urge to not only create but share it with us.

Will she zig when we expect her to zag?

No she'll probably zög, and I'll eat it up.

An album of bops in the more traditional sense would be extremely fun from her and I would obviously devour it, but my thing with mjöðer is... I kind of want her to keep trekking this forest that only she seems to want to get to the heart of while the other girlies camp down at the first or second clearing. This particular voyage has mostly turned out fruitful by a large margin for me. She is the hunter, and she's been bringing back the goods! Digestibility with her music is besides the point.
 
Us when the next album is an esoteric Wagnerian song cycle about climate change featuring upright bass, a virginals restrung entirely with dental floss, and percussion accompaniment from Arca whacking a rubber bath mat with a stick

The fact that she is bopping to “All the Way Down” by Kelela on this gif is extremely meta to the conversation at hand dd (why do I know this… being gay is wild).
 
Is there a shortage of middlebrow club music in the world that a literal 60-year-old grandma knitting socks for her grandchild in the living room of her cozy Reykjavík home has to take it upon herself to give Shygirl a run for her money? Let her be herself, unimaginative fucks! Think of her sciatica!!!
 
The most left field thing she could do right now would be to sing in tune instead of talk/scream over 3 nonmatching beats. I would be so scared of that! Please don't surprise me mother!

She probably loves a bit of Bicep while screaming into her local geyser in symphonic joy/rage.
