Another winner! This one is the densest and most chaotic yet to my ears–though that title repetition is almost a chorus in itself. “Ovule” is still my favorite so far, but I reserve the right to change that with time.
Hold up - is this the first ever Bjork album where she sings the album title in a song?
This is very interesting. Fossora already feels more varied even with the clarinets, so I think for the next album we are in for a truly eclectic affair for the first time since Post. Exciting!
In one of the previous images in the post she also says Medúlla and Fossora are sister albums in a way.
Next one! Fossora is already more eclectic than everything since Medúlla, but still has the clarinets tying it together (and she says it wasn’t even going to have that if it wasn’t for the pandemic). So if she’s truly over this method/process, and there’s nothing holding her back, the next one could be truly diverse.Next album or this coming one?
I said in the past that her having a gimmick for an album (only using certain instruments) hurt some songs. I’m glad she’s giving songs exactly what they need and deserve.Next one!

Speaking of diversity, the future and this more self-referential era, next year would be a perfect time for a Vol. 2 of Greatest Hits + Family Tree, it has been too long (and she also said in a new interview for Chile that she is a bit tired and doesn’t plan to tour Fossora for now).
Poor, forgettable Utopia.
This may be the first time people are still awake to hear her do it though.
