Fossora Is The Tenth Studio Album By Icelandic Singer-Musician Björk. It Was Officially Released On September 30 2022 Through One Little Independent Records. 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. Björk Worked On The Album During Her Stay In Iceland Over The Course Of 5 Years And The COVID-19 Pandemic And Quarantine/lockdown Helped Her To Cement Her Vision. In An Interview With The Guardian It Was Revealed That The Album Would Feature Her Son Sindri Her Daughter Ísadóra Aka Doa The Singer-Songwriter Serpentwithfeet And Contributions From The Indonesian Dance Duo Gabber Modus Operandi.

The Songs Were Written During And After The COVID-19 Lockdowns During Which Björk Returned To Her Home Country Not Having "been That Much Home Since I Was 16." The Album Features Contributions From American Singer Serpentwithfeet Björk's Two Children Sindri And Ísadóra Indonesian Dance Duo Gabber Modus Operandi And Bass Clarinet Sextet Murmuri.
