On 12 September 1996, Ricardo López, a mentally ill, obsessed American fan of Björk, mailed a letter bomb loaded with sulfuric acid to Björk's London home. He wanted to 'punish' Björk for being in a relationship with Goldie at the time. He returned home and filmed his suicide in the final part of a disturbing video diary [36] which later became public after being released to journalists and caused a media sensation that temporarily halted the sessions in making Homogenic. [242] [243] [244] With her 1997 album Homogenic, Björk intended to make a simple, one-flavoured record, in contrast with her previous releases. [185] Conceptually focused on her native Iceland, [185] the album is a "fusion of chilly strings (courtesy of the Icelandic String Octet), stuttering, abstract beats, and unique touches like accordion and glass harmonica". [186] [187] Björk incorporated a traditional singing method used by Icelandic choir men, a combination of speaking and singing as illustrated in the song " Unravel". [188] While Homogenic still showed Björk's inclination towards electronic dance-music and techno-futurism, Neva Chonin of Rolling Stone reflected on how the album was has steered away from the "sweet melodies and peppy dance collages of her earlier releases." [189]

The tour is the live version of her last-but-one album Utopia, which is set in a science-fiction future: “Not postapocalyptic,” she says “but post-optimistic.” It features a monologue by Björk’s friend Greta Thunberg, “which clashes with the animation fantasy elements of it”.
