her nerves spread like wings
at mycelium speed
into the atmosphere spores
everywhere

fossora

for millions of years we’ve been
ejecting our spors seedlings and
sprouts
are shot into the ground

fossora

her fossorial claw digs downwards
dissolves old pain dug down to rot decomposes debris decrades
sorrows, hair and hooves

fossora

at last
we stayed in one place long enough to
shoot down deep hyphae roots that
penetrate concrete and plastic

fossora

even though the ground is burnt
underneath monumental growth

fossora

Fossora (feat. Kasimyn)

2022

La voix d’Ican Harem (Gabber Modus Operandi) est présente sur une version du morceau disponible sur les premiers pressages (The Atlantic).

Ecoutez Fossora

Fossora’s title track distills the album’s motifs—mushrooms, clarinets, slamming beats—into a raucous festival. “At last / We stayed / In one place long enough,” Björk gasps during the song’s absolutely bonkers closing section, acknowledging the period of pandemic-mandated stasis that inspired the album. Fossora is all about “shooting down roots and getting very cozy with your friends,” she said. “It is [a] celebration that all you need is in that hole.”

Björk à propos de Fossora
There’s a lot of songs that are very calm and then they have a slow build up and its maybe a little bit based on sort of how we were chilling in the pandemic in our houses and making our homes into restaurants and chill out and psychology sessions with each other. But then usually on a Friday night we still need to kind of dance a little bit so we just stand up and change our living room floor into a club. So, yeah…I wanted to try and capture all of those things.
