Good news: Björk has dropped a new single with Rosalía.

Bad news: open-pen fish farming currently threatens to permanently damage the entire ocean ecology of Iceland.

The new single, Oral, dates back two decades. Written by Björk between 1997’s Homogenic and 2001’s Vespertine, the track was lost to her archives after feeling like it wasn’t the right fit for an album. Björk rediscovered the song after being reminded of its name whilst on tour in Australia in March 2023, the same month a report was released about the devastating impact of poorly regulated, Norwegian-owned commercial salmon farming operations on Iceland’s native ecosystems.

Proceeds from Oral will be used to support a legal case against the fisheries, brought forth by residents of the town of Seyðisfjörður on the eastern side of Iceland.
