In June 1995, Björk released her second solo album, Post — and the music world hasn’t been the same since.
Experimental, emotional, and completely ahead of its time, Post mixed electronic sounds with jazz, trip-hop, industrial beats, and orchestral flourishes. It wasn’t just an album; it was a fearless statement of artistic freedom.
Why Post Still Matters
Written after Björk moved to London, Post reflects her experience living in a new city full of creative energy and chaos. Each track feels like a different world, yet they all share one thing: Björk’s unique voice and perspective.
It’s an album that refuses to stick to one genre or mood — shifting from soft and fragile moments to raw power in seconds. That’s what makes it unforgettable.
A Place in Music History
Post didn’t just win over fans — it earned major respect from critics too. Rolling Stone magazine included it in their famous list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time (at #376 in 2003, rising to #289 in the 2020 update). Decades later, it’s still considered one of the most groundbreaking records of the ‘90s.
Songs That Made an Impact
Here are some of the most iconic tracks from Post:
“Army of Me” – A dark, industrial anthem of strength and defiance
“Hyperballad” – A dreamy, electronic ballad about love, danger, and release
“It’s Oh So Quiet” – A jazzy, theatrical explosion of energy
“Possibly Maybe” – Fragile, moody, and deeply personal
“Isobel” – A fairy tale told through lush, cinematic soundscapes
An Inspiration to a New Generation
Even 30 years later, Post continues to inspire artists across genres. You can hear echoes of its sound in the music of FKA twigs, Grimes, Caroline Polachek, and many others.
It’s not just a record from the past — it’s a blueprint for the future.
