Artist News Releases
Björk releases first single from new album
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 7 September 2022
Björk has released ‘Atopos’, the first single from her upcoming new album ‘Fossora’, alongside the first of a series of videos created by photographer Viðar Logi.
“It is a good intro [to the album], kinda like [its] passport”, she said on Twitter. “Sonically a heavy bottom-ended bass world, we have six bass clarinets [and] punchy sub drilling, nesting and digging us into the ground”.
“The lyrics are inspired by what Roland Barthes described as the unclassifiable ‘other’”, she added. “Our differences are irrelevant our union is stronger than us”.
“Because of the enormous importance of bass in this song”, she said in a post on Instagram, “please could you play it loudly?”
Well, as she asked so nicely, you should crank the volume up on this right now:
‘Fossora’ is set for release on 30 Sep.
By the way, if you’re not listening to Björk’s new ‘Sonic Symbolism’ podcast, in which she discusses the creation of each of her nine previous albums, you really should remedy that right away.
