Jenny Hval unveils new track, "Lay down"
Norwegian musician, artist and novelist Jenny Hval has released "Lay down" as the latest single from her forthcoming new album, Iris Silver Mist.
“We enter the album through lying down in our own grave, under the earth, just like the root, which is the part of the iris that has a scent,” Jenny Hval explains. “It would be the very best time and place to listen to music, wouldn’t it? The fetus can smell and taste their mother’s food as well as hear voices outside the mother’s body in the final months of a pregnancy. Can a ghost in the coffin still hear the birds singing above?”
Iris Silver Mist will be released on 2 May via 4AD. Visit jennyhval.com for more information.
