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. Whilst it is unclear if this is the first sign of a forthcoming album, the atmospheric nature of the song is quite calming in these times of uncertainty.
In a press statement regarding the track, Jenny Hval wrote:
“It is an unfinished track about unfinished substances leaking into one another. Trash practicing love.”
