"Post" is the second studio album by Icelandic singer Björk, released on June 7, 1995, by One Little Indian Records. Building on the style of her debut album "Debut" (1993), "Post" features a bold and eclectic mix of electronic and dance styles such as techno, trip hop, IDM, and house, along with ambient, jazz, industrial, and experimental music. Björk self-produced the album with help from co-producers like Nellee Hooper, Graham Massey of 808 State, and Tricky, a former member of Massive Attack. The songs were written after she moved to London and intended to reflect her new life in the city.
"Post" reached number one in Iceland, number two in the UK, and number 32 in the US. It was certified gold in New Zealand and Sweden, and platinum in Australia, Canada, the US, and the UK. The album produced six singles: "Army of Me," "Isobel," "It's Oh So Quiet," "Hyperballad," "Possibly Maybe," and "I Miss You," with three reaching the UK top 10. The music videos for these singles were noted for their surrealism and themes of nature and technology.
The album's success brought Björk significant media attention, including surviving a murder attempt and causing controversy by assaulting a reporter. The pressure led her to relocate to Spain to escape the press and create her next album, "Homogenic" (1997). "Post" is considered a significant work in art pop and has been praised for its ambition and timelessness. It was named one of the greatest albums of 1995 and has since been listed among the greatest albums of all time by publications such as Entertainment Weekly and Rolling Stone.
