The Norwegian musician and writer was at Manchester’s Gullivers as part of her UK tour and Mike Hughes tagged along for a vividly brilliant behind the scenes pictorial feature. Her fifth LP, Apocalypse, girl, was released on 8 June via Sacred Bones, was our album of the week, and you watch the video for recent track “That Battle Is Over”, here.
