I'm rationally angry we spent years battling in debates about melody, structure and lack thereof, and then Björk releases her weirdest, most menacing, literally dissonant, zero-hooks anti-pop lead single ever and it's finally deemed accessible? Is it just because she's wearing pretty make up this time around or does the song work as an actual hallucinogenic mushroom because...
Björk - Fossora
- Thread starter Glitterizer
- Start date
#4 (and other moments in the video) reminds me of Yolandi of Die Antwoord. I think it’s the nails and mannerisms.Double post but I'm cackling at her giving us ready made gifs on her website
#2 and #4 are a scream tbh
Those are some serious lashes Bjork is sporting. Probably cost a ton. I hope we get to see the Ursula/Bea Arthur hair in action for something.
I had no idea what to expect but I enjoyed it in all its 'Bastards remixes' boppery.
Wow this is intense. I love me some chaotic energy Björk (this in particular has elements of "Pluto" and "Mutual Core") but I also really like how it finds space for a subtle moment, even though that part doesn't have a memorable melody. And of course I stan how it just goes batshit crazy at the end. Needless to say, I'll need more than a few listens to properly process the song. Surely must be among her most daring lead singles?

The last minute of the video should come with a warning. Even her post from it on social media is about to give me a seizure.
I like everything (tis a bop and the video is excellent with playful Björk back) except her vocal delivery, which is a first. She's just shouting and forcing her voice and I don't think it helps get the message across.
The ''hook'' is catchy though, if as clumsy as usual (Are these excuses to not connect?).

In some* vernacular, 'beat' means 'face make-up'.
*I don't dare say which because I'm not sure in which one it actually originated. I only know drag queens appropriated it.
