The 1995 album Post, known for its eclecticism, [175] is considered to be the "quintessential Björk" release, due to its protean form – more than any of her albums – and its "wide emotional palette". [176] The entirety of the album was written after Björk's move to England, and intended to reflect the faster pace of her new urban life. [177] The Guardian wrote that " Post tapped into the vortex of multicultural energy that was mid-90s London, where she had relocated and where strange hybrids such as jungle and trip-hop were bubbling." [178] Post built on the dance-pop blueprint of Debut, but pushed its production and beats to the fore, with influences from all over the world. [179] While the "distant echoes" of IDM and trip-hop were present in Debut, Post is characterised by Björk's fuller incorporation of these styles. [169] Referred to as a " genre roulette" by the San Francisco Chronicle, [180] it touches on various musical styles, including industrial music, [181] big-band jazz, trip-hop, chillout, [181] and experimental music. [182] The balance between synthetic and organic elements in the album – generated through the combination of electronic and "real" instruments – is a recurring characteristic in Björk's output. [183] [184] Mark Bell contributed to much of Björk's material, including his co-production of Homogenic, until his death in 2014. a b c "RIAA Searchable Database". RIAA.

The singer has lived away from Iceland over the years – in London and New York, and is often on tour – but when she’s been away she has always felt, she says, like she is “holding her breath”, both in anticipation of return and in memory of purer air. In recent years, since her relationship with the artist Matthew Barney ended in 2013, she has lived pretty much full-time near Reykjavik, where she has witnessed the great surge in tourism to the island, which has risen from a few hundred thousand annual visitors 20 years ago to almost 2 million now. In September 2022, Björk premiered the podcast Björk: Sonic Symbolism where she reviewed her sound experiences. Accompanied by some of her collaborators in a conversation about the moods, timbers and tempos through each of her ten albums.
