Album Notes & Community Reviews
Reflecting Björk's relocation to London, 'Post' is an extroverted and musically eclectic album that juxtaposes aggressive, industrial-tinged tracks like 'Army of Me' with the lush, big-band jazz of 'It's Oh So Quiet' and the introspective trip-hop of 'Hyperballad'. The production, developed with collaborators Nellee Hooper, Tricky, and Graham Massey, marries disparate electronic styles with organic orchestral and brass arrangements, capturing a sense of urban energy and artistic restlessness. This ambitious fusion of club-friendly beats, avant-garde sensibilities, and deeply personal songwriting solidified 'Post' as a landmark art-pop album of the 1990s.
