Björk released the new single “Atopos” along with a video directed by Viðar Logi. The song is the lead single and opening track from the Icelandic artist’s forthcoming studio album, Fossora, which is due out via One Little Independent Records on September 30.
The 13-track follow-up to 2017’s Utopia includes contributions from Björk’s children Sindri and Ísadóra as well as Indonesian dance duo Gabber Modus Operandi, Serpentwithfeet and others. Björk described Fossora‘s sound in a note announcing the LP as “about bass, heavy bottom-end, we have six bass clarinets and punchy sub.”
