  • Jenny Hval: the Practice of Love (Album Review)
    Jenny Hval: The Practice of Love (album review) popmatters.com/jenny-hval-practice-of-love-2640638943.html September 30, 2019 Music Daniel Bromfield 30 Sep 2019 Photo courtesy of Sacred Bones Records Like The Practice of Love Jenny Hval Sacred Bones 13 September 2019 Jenny Hval speaks through her voice and that of a collection of female collaborators on her seventh album The Practice of Love. One of them happens to have a speaking voice that would make David Attenborough drop dead with envy. "Look at these trees, look at this grass," Vivian Wang implores us in a careful, confident tone as The Practice of Love roars into action with "Lions". Once a throb of bass enters, so rich and satisfying, we immediately relax our muscles and prepare to luxuriate for the next 33 minutes. We understand what Hval's doing. The kind of voiceovers that usually tell us to look inside ourselves and find inner light here serve as conduits for some of the Norwegian musician's headiest ideas. Produced by Hval and Lasse Marhaug, The Practice of Love draws from the most spiritually inclined strains of electronic music. That's notably trance but also the downtempo new-age of acts like Enigma, the comedown club music of the Orb, and the work of pop artists like Kylie Minogue and Madonna who tune their ears to the electronic underground. It's not an entirely sincere appropriation. Hval calls the trance she uses "trashy", albeit in a "beautiful" way. But Hval wants this music for its uplifting properties: a centering bass, slow and unpredictable builds, and those massive synth chords that scrape the sky with their grandeur.

  • Jenny Hval the Practice of Love
    Jenny Hval The Practice of Love Start time: 8pm Approx. running time: 75 minutes, no interval Please note all timings are approximate and subject to change Arwa Haider talks to Jenny Hval about writing her sixth album as a collaboration. The Practice Of Love, the seventh album from Norwegian vocalist/writer/musician/producer Jenny Hval, is an intoxicatingly multi-layered work that seems to envelope you from its opening notes. It is intimately earthy, ecstatic, and sometimes unsettling; it arguably evokes a vivid sense of performance – so it’s perhaps surprising to hear that Hval wasn’t thinking about live sets at all when she was originally creating the album. ‘When I wrote and recorded my previous album, Blood Bitch (2016), I had thoughts about scenes and movements and colours all the time, but for this one I was only thinking of words and some kind of fog,’ says Hval. She adds that when she did begin to shape tonight’s live set based on The Practice Of Love, its abstract, collaborative themes (‘communication, community, writing, hands and earth’) flowed quite swiftly: ‘Developing the piece has been a bit like dreaming, but with others.’ The voices on The Practice Of Love, in addition to Hval’s own beautifully lucid expressions, include vocalist/keyboardist Vivian Wang (formerly of Singaporean experimental rockers The Observatory), French musician Félicia Atkinson, and Australian folk/classical artist Laura Jean; they emerge, interlaced through the track-listing, and collectively on the exhilarating ‘Six Red Cannas’. ‘I am drawn to people I like, so collaborations usually happen in a very organic way,’ she explains.

  • Jenny Hval Releases “​High Alice​,” New Single Off ​The Practice Of
    August 13, 2019 For Immediate Release Jenny Hval Releases “High Alice,” New Single ​ ​ Off The Practice of Love, Due September 13th Via Sacred Bones ​ ​ photo credit - Lasse Marhaug “Catchy hooks, uptempo thumps, and strobe-like shimmers turn out to be a Trojan Horse for a series of reminiscences about dreams.” — Pitchfork, Best New Track ​ ​ “Jenny Hval starts [‘Ashes To Ashes’] as a bemused incantation over misty chords; then the beat comes in, the keyboards start answering her with hooks, and her meta-pop musings verge on turning into pop themselves." - New York Times ​ “[‘Ashes To Ashes’ is] gently pulsing electronic music, crescendoing to a heavenly peak while Hval ruminates on the act of songwriting itself.” - Vulture, Best New Songs of the Week ​ ​ "With a delicate sheen of trance-lite pop — the kind of rainy-night nostalgia heard on late-night Top-40 radio in the mid-'90s — ‘Ashes to Ashes’ looks back to early Robyn, Everything But the Girl and Sophie B. Hawkins' still oh-so-good ‘As I Lay Me Down’ as sonic and spiritual guides." - NPR ​ Norwegian multidisciplinary artist Jenny Hval releases a new single, “High Alice,” from her ​ ​ ​ ​ forthcoming album, The Practice of Love, due September 13th via Sacred Bones. It follows ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ lead single, “Ashes To Ashes,” a synth-heavy track that circles the issues of mortality with a ​ ​ kind of humane delight. “High Alice,” which builds with an oscillating beat and Hval’s layered ​ ​ vocals, reconfigures the Alice in Wonderland tale as a sensual and surrealist experience of ​ ​ coming into writing. “For a while, this song felt like my entire album.
