Kinda big city, big lights, Trafalgar Square kind of energy. It was very much also reflecting my life at the time. I just wanted to try to work with several people. "I always use the word 'promiscuous' for this album.
It was named one of the greatest albums of 1995 by numerous publications, and has since been named one of the greatest albums of all time by publications including Entertainment Weekly and Rolling Stone.
Considered an important exponent of art pop, Post has been praised by critics for its ambition and timelessness. Björk would relocate to Spain away from the press and produce her next album, Homogenic (1997). She survived a murder attempt, and caused controversy by assaulting a reporter. A remix album titled Telegram was released in 1996.ĭuring the album's commercial peak, Björk was affected by media attention and Post's promotional tour. Their accompanying music videos were noted for their surrealism, themes of nature and technology, and artistic development of the medium. Six singles were released: " Army of Me", " Isobel", " It's Oh So Quiet", " Hyperballad", " Possibly Maybe", and " I Miss You", with three reaching the UK top 10. It was certified gold in New Zealand and Sweden, and platinum in Australia, Canada, the US, and the UK. The album reached number one in Iceland, number two in the United Kingdom and number 32 in the United States. She wrote most of the songs after moving to London, and intended the album to reflect her new life in the city. Björk produced Post herself with co-producers including Nellee Hooper, 808 State's Graham Massey, and former Massive Attack member Tricky. Continuing the style developed on her first album Debut (1993), Björk conceived of Post as a bolder and more extroverted set of songs than its predecessor, featuring an eclectic mixture of electronic and dance styles such as techno, trip hop, IDM, and house, but also ambient, jazz, industrial, and experimental music. It was released on 7 June 1995 by One Little Indian Records. Post is the second studio album by Icelandic singer Björk.
