Apocalypse, Girl

Released

Norwegian songwriter Jenny Hval’s fifth album Apocalypse, Girl assumes a liminal space between impishness and impending doom. It’s a feast for those who prefer their sounds experimental yet compelling: Lapping waves, keyboard swells, and unearthly twinkles undergird a well-conceptualized collection of songs that still welcome plenty of interpretation. (Consider how the album begins with the question: ‘what is soft dick rock?’)
