Releasing her impressive album 'The Practice of Love' back in 2019, Norwegian artist Jenny Hval returns with a new single for 2020 titled 'Bonus Material'. Minimal and spacious in production, the song contains no drums, rather a piano riffs dripping in reverb with saxophone play courtesy of Espen Reinertsen, all sitting underneath Hvals' breezy vocals.
Experimental artist Jenny Hval is scheduled to release her new album 'The Practice of Love' on September 13th. Having unveiled the lead-off single 'Ashes To Ashes', Hval now brings forth her latest track titled 'High Alice'. For this offering, the Norwegian artist delivers a seductive electro pop tune that is driven by stuttering, sequenced chords over shifting drums. With light vocals, occasionally dropping down to semi-whispers, the tune definitely has a sexy and steamy feel to it, making it a pleasurable delight.

Hval has also shared the video to her new single 'Spells'. Directed by Constance Tenvik, Jenny strolls through multiple rooms of a mansion discovering parties in each room, some more peculiar than others. At the same time she discovers someone who looks like her. Carrying a briefcase, one of the more bizarre moments is when she decides to open it in the middle of a slumber party and the attendees flock to it like birds on bread crumbs.

Carmen Villain and experimental art-pop star Jenny Hval have come together for the haunting track 'Borders'. Dark in production, the mood of the song brilliantly coincides with the climate of these modern times in which Villian touches on - racism, fear and the idea of border patrols. Ghostly vocals float around the tune as Hval adds her magic to the chorus, making this nothing short of a brilliant piece of work.
Norwegian artist Jenny Hval has never been one to take a conventional approach to music or the accompanying visuals. Having released her acclaimed 'Blood Bitch' album in 2016, she now unveils the video for the song 'The Great Undressing'. Definitely not something that you want to watch at work, the vid revolves around a woman who goes through her normal life in the nude. This includes doing random things like biking, clubbing, attending birthday parties and just having a bite to eat at a local take away.
Oslo singer, writer and artist Jenny Hval will release her new album 'Blood Bitch' on September 30th via Sacred Bones. Having shared tracks such as 'Female Vampire,''Conceptual Romance' and 'Period Piece', the full album is available for streaming via NPR. Whilst never one to shy away from an unorthodox style of production and delivery, 'Blood Bitch' is a more subtle approach to her brand of experimentalism, lighter yet no less impacting as she blurs the line between the imaginable and the personal.
With her album 'Blood Bitch' landing September 30th, Jenny Hval shares a new track taken from the LP entitled 'Period Piece'. Like her past work, Hval taps into the experimental side of music, with this one more on the easy side as the Norwegian artist layers multiple vocal patterns over minimal and sparse production which is quite enchanting.
A graveyard is the open space for a woman to run through, not to mention Norwegian singer and artist Jenny Hval bouncing on a stability ball whilst wearing a wig. If this sounds even remotely strange, that's because it is. This is what you get with Hval's latest video 'Conceptual Romance'. There is even a scene where three girls are going mental, to the point of fighting each other. However, all of the ladies seem to be in a happier state of mind once all huddled together in front of a mansion whilst wearing cat suits painted to look like naked bodies. According to director Zia Anger, the video is "a conceptual ménage a trois between Jenny, myself, and cheap tricks. It is a literal burial of the effigies we have created in our video and performance collaborations over the past three years."
