"Provocative, compelling art pop" 4* - The Guardian "Apocalypse, girl is a challenging listen, but a deeply rewarding one" - Album of the week - The Sunday Times "Ironic, funny & frequently brilliant" 4* - The Observer “Out of a dangerous, pitfall-laden area of song, she makes a variety of riches” - The Wire "Apocalypse, girl took me to a place I didn't know music could unravel" - The Quietus "Not just one of the best of 2015, Apocalypse, girl is one of the best records in a very long time" 9/10 - TLOBF "Hval, herself understands the malaise of the modern world and she's here to guide us through it" - 9/10 - Loud & Quiet “Apocalypse, girl’ then: serene on the surface but disturbed deep down” 7/10 - NME “Stabs like a stiletto” 8/10 - UNCUT "A thing of rich, radiant beauty and sly humour" 4/5 - Metro “Could this be album of the year?” 9/10 - The 405 "Thrillingly satisfying" - Crack Magazine "A stunning vocal performance dilating from breathy spoken word to sky-gazing operatics – that makes for an incredibly arresting commentary on the state of the West." 4/5 - The Skinny
Following the release of new album 'Apocalypse, girl' last month, Norwegian artist Jenny Hval is sharing the video for 'Sabbath' along with new tour dates, including a full UK run in November. A colloborative effort between band mates, Jenny (vocals, synth), Håvard Volden (electronics), Annie Bielski (performance artist and Apocalypse, girl cover model) and Zia Anger (visual enhancement), the 'Sabbath' video was shot on Anger's iPhone during their European tour, and in the words of Anger is "best viewed on a cracked screen".
