Replete with hard techno, six bass clarinets and collaborations with Serpentwithfeet, Gabber Modus Operandi and Björk’s children, Fossora (the grammatically incorrect feminization of the Latin word for “digger”) was crafted during the pandemic and celebrates family and friendship. This version of the album appears on two limited burgundy vinyl records.

Sizzle, on the other hand, is for cooking and is made from more mature olives that provide a milder taste. The charming design of the squeeze bottle for each olive oil is not only practical but makes home cooks feel like professional chefs.
