Jenny Hval – Iris Silver Mist (Limited Edition Pearl Vinyl)
Many of the songs on Iris Silver Mist were created as a mixtape, as one continuous flow of ideas. Before the songs were recorded, they were performed like this, as long, shapeshifting pieces, as part of the interdisciplinary piece I want to be a Machine. The album has kept this feeling of one song seeping into the next. Field recordings blur the line between music and the world around it, too. In 'Heiner M ller', we hear the sound of the artist singing to herself while walking her dog in the rain. 'Spirit Mist' includes the hum of the Oslo subway. "It is about moving," Jenny says about the album, but she means it in a more symbiotic way. Moving into the sound, as one song turns into the next, as she turns into the music, and her perfume does so, too.
