Norwegian artist Jenny Hval has released her new track ‘The artist is absent’.
The songwriter, performer, author, and more, Jenny Hval has garnered a notable reputation in artistic circles. Now with the esteemed label 4AD, her upcoming album ‘Iris Silver Mist’ – named after the fragrance from the French perfume house Serge Lutens – will be released on May 2nd.
The new track ‘The artist is absent’ offers a deep exploration, reinterpreting the Death of The Author concept for the social media-driven era we live in.
Amidst the darkness, Jenny Hval sings:
“We’re dancing to the tiktok of the doomsday clock”
The single comes with an extended mix – although we refer to it as extended… the original is 83 seconds long, and the new mix is less than a minute longer.
A video accompanies the release – directed by Jenny Merger Myhre, it features Jenny Hval along with her longtime collaborator Orfee Schuijt.
