Jenny Hval announces new album Apocalypse, girl
Jenny Hval has announced the release of Apocalypse, girl, the follow up to 2013's Innocence Is Kinky.
Norse noise icon Lasse Marhaug has produced the record; the collaboration came about after the pair bonded over discussions about film while Marhaug was interviewing Hval for a fanzine.
It opens with an excerpt from a poem by Denmark's Mette Moestrup, and looks to be an intriguing LP of big concepts and macro discussions: "It dreams of an old science fiction movie where gospel choir girls are punks and run the world with auto-erotic impulses. It’s a gentle hum from a doomsday cult, a soft desire for collective devotion, an ode to the close-up and magnified, unruly desires."
The album will be released on 8 June by Sacred Bones.
