Post is the second solo studio album by Icelandic musician Björk. The album was released in June 1995 through One Little Indian in the United Kingdom and Elektra Records in the United States. Unlike her previous release Debut - which was almost entirely produced by Nellee Hooper - Post is characterized by more collaborative efforts, including production by Hooper, 808 State's Graham Massey, and former Massive Attack member Tricky. Moreover, Björk co-produced every song on the album. Post received widespread critical acclaim from reviewers and was a commercial success, charting at number 2 in the United Kingdom and 32 in the United States. It was certified gold in New Zealand and Sweden, and platinum in Australia, Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom. Telegram, a remix album of songs from Post, was released in 1996.

Continuing the stylistic blueprint of Debut, Post is considered an important exponent of art pop and is known for its eclecticism, mainly incorporating electronic and dance styles - such as techno, trip hop, IDM and house - but also ambient, jazz, industrial and experimental music. A reflection of Björk's new life in London, Post features songs she wrote after moving to England and was intended to convey the fast pace and urban culture of the city, deviating from the themes of its predecessor - which focused on the compositions the singer had written in Iceland. It also centres on the contemporary styles of British underground club culture, with which the singer had established close ties.
