Post (1995)
Post is a 1995 alternative dance album by Björk.
Bjork made her second album as a leap outward. Recorded after she moved to London, Post arrived in 1995 bolder and stranger than her Debut, throwing techno, trip hop, house, jazz, industrial and pure pop into the same restless mix. She co-produced with Nellee Hooper, 808 State's Graham Massey and Massive Attack's Tricky, chasing a sound that mirrored her new city: crowded, electric, never sitting still. One moment it leans into jazz and dancefloor heat, the next it dissolves into ambient hush. The record captures an artist deciding she could contain every genre at once.

A few thoughts on Post
Fans of its fearless genre-blending should explore the shadowy trip hop of Massive Attack, the band Tricky came from, alongside Portishead's smoky electronica. For the same appetite for reinvention, Kate Bush's art-pop and PJ Harvey's raw experiments make natural next listens.
Bjork bending every genre to fit her voice
Post threw techno, jazz, pop and industrial into one restless mix, and Bjork never stopped there. Her debut set the template, Homogenic hardened it into strings and volcanic beats, Vespertine turned inward toward whispers and music boxes, and Volta swung back outward. Follow one artist deciding she could contain every sound at once.
Trip-hop and Bristol soul from the same mid-90s moment
Post was built with Tricky and Nellee Hooper, deep in the smoky trip-hop world Bjork moved through in London. These records share that late-night pulse, from Portishead's cinematic gloom and Massive Attack's slow menace to the cartoon funk Damon Albarn later spun out of the same producers and city.
