Art and music are one in the same for Oslo's Jenny Hval. Having released avant garde solo records now for a decade, she continues to erase any lines of genre, allowing for a bigger and more spacious palette to freely create without boundaries or restrictions. On September 30th, Hval will drop her sixth LP 'BLOOD BITCH' on the Sacred Bones imprint. Delivering the first single taken from the album entitled 'Female Vampire', she now gives a taste of the second offering called 'Conceptual Romance'. Dreamy in sound yet still unorthodox in production, the warming aesthetic is graced with high, floating vocals.
Jenny Hval has always been one to walk her own beat creatively. With a new album on the way entitled 'Blood Bitch', the Norwegian artist taps into a sort of 70s horror aesthetic with her latest video 'Female Vampire'. What appears to be a sort of ritual in which Hval and a group of women put their faces together whilst covered in sticky film, the vid was shot entirely on an iPhone.
Jenny Hval continues to push the envelope of bizarre in her video 'Take Care of Yourself', which is shot by Miles Joris-Peyrafitte. In a nutshell, you have Jenny and a couple of women taking selfies before going on stage to perform in what looks like a small club whilst getting quite emotional. You can call this performance art or you can call it plain weird.
Jenny Hval has taken the idea of DIY to the next level with her latest video 'Sabbath'. In fact, was shot on her phone whilst touring around Europe. So what you have are random clips of her, alongside two other women jumping up and down in the bathroom, eating and swaying back and forth in front of a windmill. Some may call the video weird, others may call it art. 'Sabbath' is taken from Jenny Hval's latest LP 'Apocalypse, girl'. Have a look.
