Fossora is the tenth[nb 1] studio album by Icelandic singer-musician Björk. It was released on 30 September 2022 through One Little Independent Records.[4][5][6][7] The album was recorded mainly during the COVID-19 pandemic and centers around the theme of isolation, loss, and grief, mainly of the death of her mother, Hildur Rúna Hauksdóttir, in 2018.[8] The album entered the UK Albums Chart at number 11 and the US Billboard 200 at number 100. It received a nomination for Best Alternative Music Album at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards, becoming Björk's ninth consecutive nomination in the category.
