Mushroom Woman – Style – Kommersant

Björk’s new studio album “Fossora” has been released, which is called one of the most successful in her career. “Kommersant Style” finds out the details and talks about her most striking stage images and social events.

The outrageous queen has released a new album “Fossora”, which means “digger” or “the one that digs.” It was released on September 30 via One Record Independent Records and is a reflection of Björk’s experiences with her recently deceased mother and her interpretation of the difficult internal state caused by the pandemic lockdown. It is known that singer Josiah Uyaz (aka Serpentwithfeet), Indonesian dance duet Gabber Modus Operandi and her children Sindri and Isadora took part in the recording of the album. Björk herself insists that the word “fossora” was invented by herself, and calls her album a “mushroom album”, as if the music was written literally from the ground. “Each of my albums begins with a feeling that I try to translate into sound – this time this feeling landed on the ground, stuck my feet into it. The way I experience “now” has also been experienced by 7 billion people who have put down deep roots, remaining in isolation,” she says. By the way, one of the most beautiful tracks is called “Mycelia” in honor of the thin fungal threads that form colonies to destroy dead matter.

For all the time of her work, Björk has been seen in the most unexpected and provocative outfits from the most advanced and non-standard designers: Junya Watanabe, Comme des Garons, Iris Van Herpen, Hussein Chalayan, Moncler. This time, Alessandro Michele from Gucci designed a crimson latex dress for her for the filming of the Ovule video – this is another relevant statement of the singer. Let’s look at Björk’s brightest exits throughout her long career.
