In about a week, Björk will release her much-anticipated new album Fossora. This morning, after releasing the early songs “Atopos” and “Ovule,” Björk has shared a deep and expansive new track called “Ancestress. On Instagram, Björk writes that “Ancestress” is one of two songs on Fossora that’s about her mother. She goes on to explain that “Ancestress” “is written after her worldly funeral and is probably a common musician’s reaction, the impulse of making your version of the story, later.”

Before we proceed, please be clear that this is no Michel Gondry studio affair but rather a sheerly live video. But given how few have actually had a chance to see the wondrous, science- and bio-philic new stage show Björk’s boasting, a live video seems only fair. B played Harpa when I was at Iceland [...]

Every Björk album has some sort of overarching concept that also serves as an attention-grabbing hook — the Feminist World Warrior album, the A Capella album, the Sexy Bedtime IDM album. For an artist who’s been in the game a long time, that’s a canny approach; it keeps Björk from repeating herself, and it turns [...
