Jenny Hval's new album 'Apocalypse, girl' is set to arrive next month on Sacred Bones, with the songwriter leaving a series of clues as to her next direction.
New track 'That Battle Is Over' has been placed online, with Jenny Hval multi-layering her vocals to produce something which is both intense and hypnotic.
Zia Anger directs the video, with the film maker commenting:
“I guess it goes back to '96 for me, and the ‘girl power’ mantra I've been repeating since I learned it from the Spice Girls. The female experience is far from singular (and even further from this white, suburban, American-retro dream), yet around every corner there is a common pain, a wisdom of ecstasy, and an obsession with the uncanny that we all share. Collaborating with an entirely female creative team (with the support of a few great gentlemen) gave birth to an exploration of Jenny's song and an inquiry into the sarcasm that pulses through it.”
Watch it now.
'Apocalypse, girl' will be released on June 8th.
