Norwegian artist Jenny Hval has announced news on her forthcoming album The Practice of Love. The LP is set to land September 13th on Sacred Bones. Comprised of 8-tracks, the record revolves around the idea of creating art and its relevance to life. The album follows Jenny Hval’s 2016 LP Blood Bitch.

Jenny Hval has also shared her new single entitled ‘Ashes to Ashes’, which is taken from The Practice of Love. The track draws inspiration from a 90s trance sound as chilled synth lines and twinkling effects coincide with Hval’s easing vocals. You can stream the song below.

Touching on the upcoming album, Jenny Hval stated:

“This all sounds very clichéd, like a standard greeting card expression. But for me love, and the practice of love, has been deeply tied to the feeling of otherness. Love as a theme in art has been the domain of the canonized, big artists, and I have always seen myself as a minor character, a voice that speaks of other things. But in the last few years I have wanted to take a closer look at the practice of otherness, this fragile performance, and how it can express love, intimacy, empathy and desire. I have wanted to ask bigger, wider, kind of idiotic questions like: What is our job as a member of the human race? Do we have to accept this job, and if we don’t, does the pressure to be normal ever stop?”
