Björk

Post

First released1995

Post, Björk's second studio album, was recorded between 1995 and 1996 across multiple locations including London, New York, and Iceland. The album was produced by various collaborators including Nellee Hooper, Marius de Vries, and Graham Massey, reflecting Björk's desire to work with diverse producers rather than a single vision. The recording sessions incorporated eclectic influences from electronic, dance, and experimental music, with the album being characterized by its use of drum and bass, trip-hop, and abstract production techniques. Key technical choices included the use of unconventional samples, live instrumentation blended with electronic elements, and innovative vocal processing that showcased Björk's distinctive approach to arrangement. The album marked Björk's transition from the Sugarcubes era to a more experimental solo artist, released in June 1995 and becoming a commercial and critical success that helped establish her as a pioneering figure in electronic and alternative pop music.
