#10 | Björk | Fossora
One Little Independent
Whatever Björk does, she commits whole-heartedly to and often reaps the rewards as she straddles the worlds of popular and avant-garde music. Her sense of fearlessness is inspirational. … Thematically, Fossora covers the loss of her mother and the residual traces of post-divorce emotions to the accompaniment of her trademark mixture of highly organic sounds and technological wizardry alongside her completely unique voice and phrasing.
There are undoubtedly moments of beauty throughout (very often in each and every song), moments of percussive power that demand attention and movement and her polysyllabic lyrics are emotive and urgently delivered. But it becomes far too crowded to make it an experience that satisfies. It is always interesting, but sometimes not especially pleasing to the ear. [Read Patrick Corcoran’s Review]
