Experimental artist Jenny Hval has released her new EP The Long Sleep via Sacred Bones. The record is the follow-up to her Lost Girls EP which was a collaborative effort with Håvard Volden.

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.

Touching on the video, Jenny Hval mentioned:

“A detective like version of Jenny is carrying a mysterious suitcase through various disco infused rooms. At times her doppelganger appears. Soon enough the content of the chased suitcase is revealed to be pastel colored marshmallows. The slumber party is officially open and the sweets are up for grabs. A pillow fight evolves into a carnivalesque parade serving dance moves and crocodiles made out of bread and spinach – and with hard boiled eggs as eyes (recipe found in Roald Dahl’s Revolting Recipes). On the dance floor Jenny attempts to become a disco ball by draping herself in silver sequins and by pointing with a Maglite on the rotating body. While she is covered in silvery fabrics and spinning, she is not noticing that the party is leaving her.”
