ODDWAX™ is thrilled to announce the limited edition 12” vinyl release of Björk's captivating collaboration with Rosalía, "Oral," featuring an exclusive remix by Olof Dreijer of The Knife.
This release isn't just about the music – it's a call to action. All profits will directly support AEGIS, Björk's charity fighting intensive fish farming in Iceland. By owning this special edition vinyl, you become part of a movement to protect our oceans and environment.
"Oral" has a unique history: Björk penned the song 20 years ago but felt it wasn't the right fit for any album at the time. Rediscovering it in 2023 coincided with alarming reports about the devastating impact of poorly regulated salmon farming in Iceland. Deeply moved, Björk partnered with Rosalía to revive the track and raise awareness.
Open-pen farming, an intensive fish farming method introduced by Norwegian businesses in Iceland, poses a severe threat to the country's pristine ecosystems. The practice involves confining fish in open water nets until they reach market size, leading to genetic mutations, disease outbreaks, and pollution. The industry's rapid growth in Iceland has alarming consequences, endangering wild salmon populations and threatening the entire ocean ecology.
