Post by Björk

Post, Björk's second solo album, came out on 12 June 1995, and it's what happens when an Icelandic pop maverick moves to London and treats the whole city as raw material. She wrote most of it after the move and produced it herself, with Nellee Hooper, Howie B, 808 State's Graham Massey and Tricky taking turns at the desk, and Compass Point Studios among the rooms.
It's bolder and more extroverted than Debut, lurching from the industrial stomp of "Army of Me" to the big-band hysterics of "It's Oh So Quiet" to the shimmering techno of "Hyperballad", with trip hop, house, jazz and ambient drifting through the gaps. "Isobel", "Possibly Maybe" and "I Miss You" rounded out 6 singles, and their videos, surreal and full of nature and machinery, pushed the form somewhere new. It topped the chart in Iceland and reached number two in the UK.
