Jenny Hval releases new song "Buffy"
Jenny Hval has released a new standalone single titled "Buffy".
"Buffy" is Hval's first release since her March album Classic Objects, and is, in Hval's own words, a song about "hope".
"Somehow I improvised some lyrics that referred to Buffy the Vampire Slayer," Hval says. "Probably just because I have watched it many times. I do like the idea that a TV series with many episodes, like Buffy, can be used as a creative and political rehearsal. An episodic form rehearsing overthrowing a dictatorship, a plutocracy, or theocracy?"
She adds, ""Buffy" is not a song about a slayer, a superhero, or feminist icon. If anything, it’s a song about hope, but in an understated and episodic way. Because to me, hope is more hopeful when it is presented in a subtle way."
