Jenny Hval - Mephisto In The Water (taken from her forthcoming album, Innocence Is Kinky) by Forced Exposure Publicity published on 2013-03-13T15:43:12Z "Something happens when you say 'I' in a song, that can't happen in a book," declares Jenny Hval, who's known in her native Norway both as a musician (both under her own name, the moniker Rockettothesky, and with the duo Nude on Sand) and as a published novelist and media commentator. Her songs -- featuring frequently explicit language -- explore subjectivity and sensuality and experiment with male perspectives and voices. But don't call her music "confessional," as that implies guilt and sinfulness, and Jenny makes no apology for who she is or what she's thinking. As she challenges: "How much subject can you take?" Jenny Hval's previous, acclaimed Rune Grammofon album Viscera (2011), recorded with her own free rock trio, overflowed with intimate detail and surrealistic bodily imagery. Innocence Is Kinky -- which also features a string section led by avant garde composer Ole-Henrik Moe -- was produced in Bristol, England by PJ Harvey collaborator John Parish, who helped bring out the intimate qualities of her lyrics and sharpened her improvisational tendencies. "It was a very easy collaboration..." Like contemporaries such as Julia Holter and Laurel Halo, she's weaving spellbinding new forms of intelligent, experimental pop with injections from mythology, theory, gender politics and improvisation. http://jennyhval.com/ Comment by 50% of tonto/sueñistas maaaarvelous 2020-11-15T16:46:51Z Comment by Lonelyspeck so gentle & small but intense at the same time 2015-06-15T05:58:37Z Comment by encym Exquisite! 2015-06-13T21:36:23Z Comment by Bojan Sambolec pure emotion 2015-03-23T13:44:20Z Comment by Robert Hartley stunning. 2014-03-25T09:07:19Z Comment by C. t. torquatus so so good 2014-02-16T05:23:49Z Comment by Rolando Belli very interesting !!! 2014-01-05T09:36:43Z Comment by Kirrk A trip.
