Jenny Hval, Mattress, Tender Age
Recommended
On her brand-new record, Blood Bitch, Norwegian avant-garde musician Jenny Hval coolly sings about blood—specifically menstrual blood (periods!! I said periods!!). There’s also a super-meta track called “The Great Undressing” where Hval announces her album is about vampires. Either way, this latest effort finds her burrowing further into the depths of spacey pop that sounds like it’s coming from an ice cave. CIARA DOLAN
