Most provocative question of the day: ‘What is soft dick rock?’ Intriguing Norwegian art-pop artist Jenny Hval has provided the answer in her track of the same name,‘Soft Dick Rock’: ‘Using the elements of dick to create a softer, toned-down sound.’
Hval likes to provoke, but those who dig deeper will see and hear a lady who addresses gender politics and sexuality, like on her two latest solo albums ‘Innocence Is Kinky’ (’13) and ‘Apocalypse Girl’ (’15). Her fascinating voice has certainly catapulted her into many a year-end chart.
Enter ‘Blood Bitch’: her latest album, to be released late this year. She recorded it with Norwegian noise-maker Lasse Marhaug and describes it as ‘my most fictional and most personal album’, it deals with: menstruation. Welcome to the wonderful world of Jenny Hval!
