Björk - Fossora ALBUM REACTION and REVIEW
Vložit
- čas přidán 17. 08. 2024
- Fossora is Björk’s 10th studio album, following on from 2017’s Utopia. The word fossora derives from Latin meaning “hole digger”, representing Björk’s intent to dig up and re-discover her roots, giving them new meanings. Some of the album’s themes are indeed Björk’s family, her home country Iceland, love, and the idea of belonging to a place.

This album is mind blowing especially Atopos, Ancestress and the whole second part like... no one does it like Björk
so true, the second part is front to back just astonishing
now that bowie and prince have gone, byork is our best metric.
Bjork has been consistently putting out at least a good album if not a masterpiece since 3 decades, it's pretty impressive... I do recommend going through her discography, cause I don't think there are as much artists like her out there... Do love ur reaction, they are pretty detailed
as a fan Björk fan I really enjoyed seeing youre appreciation to Fossora. to me this album is very celebratory since it's her 10th project and you cant tell she used little bits of other previous sounds into this. to me (as a personal theory) this album is really clever since it's divided in parts. the first one is the introductory one (Atopos, Ovule and Mycelia) all the sound of those three (if you notice) is often used all along the album. the second part would be a reflexive and soulful tribute to her late mother and also a reflection on motherhood, family and death. the third part is what I like to describe as a journey to the bottom of the eart: the predominant sound used is sound really earthy, mushroom-type, with a lot of bass, heavy sounds and sometimes really scary (especially with Trolla-Gabba which is the end of this part), the final one is I would like to see as the Love Arc, since it's themes and sounds gets softer: she's not only declaring to free fall on her new lover's arms or dancing/enjoying to the rythym of clarinets, she's also singing with so much love and tender with her daughter at the end. it's a really masterpiece this album, at least to me, so sad it has been underappreciated but some.
Can’t wait to see your takes on the full discography! Loved this video.
Thank you for watching! :)
"Legendary boss is approaching" 💀
I had to do it 😭💀
isadora bjarkardottir barney(featured on her mother's house) is bjork's daughter btw
That‘s actually crazy, I didn‘t know that, she has a great voice really surprised me :o
@@luggareviews Also her son sindri is featured on Ancestress
@@missanthropocene damn, she got her whole family on the album, didn't knew that lol, he also has a beautiful voice tbh it really harmonizes with his mother's voice
Good Reaction! You can try Björk‘s other albums, but they are very very different if you start from the beginning! ;)
He should just do all björk albums tbh
Absolutely loved this reaction. You're so well spoken and gave amazing thoughts on each track. So happy you liked the album as much as I did. Would absolutely love to see you react to some of her other stuff (Homogenic/Vespertine, hint hint)!! On a side note, the music was a bit low in this video; if it's possible to up it a bit that'd be great!
Thank you for your kind words ^^
I think I will do her discography from top to bottom because the more I hear this album, the more I want to know what else she did… :)
I also realized that the music is a little bit too low I will change that for the next vid ^^
@@luggareviews great can't wait post-homogenic-vespertine were her back to back masterpieces then medulla is another one too but many people find it a lil bit inaccessible as it is all a capella but cool as fuck
@@syntheticsilkwood2206 oh damn, an album that is only acapella :D I wonder how that would sound like, but she is truly talented in doing acapella tho ^^
Best reaction on this album. I absolutely loved your way of making music sink in! U naled ancestress's theme without even reading about It! And your favs are my favs! Subscribed :) keep going pls, in gonna watch your older reactions/reviews!
Now im curious eheh wanna know what u would feel with the other Bjork album!!!
Thank you! I'm happy that so many people loved this reaction, because I thought that reacting to this album was very special to me and never listened to anything that even comes close to the sound of this album :D

@@jacopomabanfibio4808 I just read this and just thought to me that I have to frame this comment and put it on my wall haha :D really nice of you! I always try to get the most of albums and the listening... I also try to look at the music out of every perspective possible, that's why I love music, there is just so much to it if you know what I mean :) (Especially on this album).
@@luggareviews this is a rare way of absorbing music, we are very few! Ppl just want a Mirror, usually, and something to get over a bad day. Nothing against It, but if ppl could listen to music differently, i think many emotional balances in ppls lives would be Saved (bc music really can! Personal experience!) Thats why u need to keep going :) thank u for understanding
I love Björk and it's funny to watch you reacting to this album, sometimes 🤔, sometimes 🤯, but always interesting.
I'll listen to your own music.
Oh wow thank you! :D never read someone mentioning my own music, I wouldn't call my music great but I am getting better :)
great review thank you for giving bjork a listen
Thank you for watching ^^
Best Album ever from Björk-ONG MASTERPIECE.XXXXXXXXXXXX
Very nice breakdown, I keep switching favorites as I digest them more and more, I don’t know why, I recognize Bjorks music to be so weird, truncated and oddly juxtaposed yet so harmonious and cathartic, I hope you do more of these, you are very nice to look at and your voice is asmr
About the lyrics,
“I anchor our darks
Sleep with one eye open
Watching our sub selves
The keel of our ship”
I take that to mean she is perceptive to bad things inside even if they are small, to be emotionally strong
The way she writes as riddles to be deciphered is so magical to me
Thank you for your well thought out and written comment ^^
I am also kind of switching on this album with my fav tracks and there are so many riddles in these tracks in the concept and in the lyrics it‘s great!
@@luggareviews you’re welcome, it’s pretty cool how her work morphs as we dive into it more
Great dive into Björks Fossora release! I like how you took time to really sit and listen to the whole thing to truly grasp the depth
Great reaction. looking forward to your thoughts on the rest of her discography!
Thank you for watching :)!
I love this reaction pls react to her all discography I’m gonna watch it with pleasure ☺️
I will :), thank you for watching!
Nice reaction! Bjork will go to *Brazil* next month, I hope that heard a Fossora's song.
thank you for watching! :)
that's great to hear! I don't know if she would come to my country tho haha
had to VPN to watch this because i was dying to see ur reaction! thx for posting.
omg you should discover ethel cain's album, she's a new gem to our generation
I heard a single from the new album, maybe gonna do the album if I feel like it :)
please react to her albums homogenic, utopia, vulnicura, and vespertine!!!!
Allow was actually an outtake- from her 2017 utopia album. But idk if she had featured emelie during the utopia sessions or the fossora ones. Listen to utopia next?👀 or are you gonna start with her oldest album until you reach utopia?
I think I am gonna start with her oldest albums first to get a kind of an idea how she got to the point of doing fossora and the progression :)
Interesting review. Do you have socials to follow?
Yea, I am on Twitter and stuff
Twitter: twitter.com/Lugga0211
@@luggareviews how about to review other Bjork's albums? Maybe homogenic?
@@szymonte7013 i will start from the beginning, I already filmed my debut reaction so it will be up thursday or wednesday :)
🤩
Listen to her album homogenic!
Do Swans Children of god
tomorrow :)
Cute boy like Björk
I emailed you the template... please check if possible
The album sounds too bulky for me except for 2-3 songs, I find it almost inaudible. You can hardly tell that they are songs, I miss more catchy songs like on Vulnicura and Vespertine but also Homogenic. These are masterpieces.
I get what you mean, maybe it was even easier for me to listen to this album because I don't know her other work, so I am even more curious if those other Björk album are even BETTER :D
Had the same! You need to zoom in on them and then you get it!
For me this album is 50/50.
I really don’t like the crazy hyper speed beats .
The only one perfect sont is the last one : her mother house .
