Norwegian musician and novelist Jenny Hval, “a post-punk pop philosopher at the height of her craft” (Pitchfork), announces her signing to 4AD with new single/video, ‘Jupiter’. The ‘Jupiter’ video sees Hval collaborating once again with director Zia Anger.
Following its soulful, almost jazzy opening with Hval intoning over floating piano, ‘Jupiter’ blooms with shuffling percussion, and as Hval’s crystal cooing layers, it swells into a simple hymn-like chorus.
Since her last album, 2019’s widely acclaimed The Practice of Love, Hval published the English translation of her third novel, Girls Against God, and released an album under the name Lost Girls with frequent collaborator, Håvard Volden.
