Following the release of her album ‘Apocalypse, girl’ earlier this year via Sacred Bones, Jenny Hval is sharing the new video for album standout track ‘Take Care of Yourself’.
Hval and her band mates, Håvard Volden (electronics), Annie Bielski (performance artist and Apocalypse, girl cover model) and Zia Anger (visual enhancement) will be returning to the UK this autumn for a full run of shows in November.
Filmed at Stage 48 in NYC opening for Perfume Genius, the ‘Take Care of Yourself’ video was shot & edited by Miles Joris-Peyrafitt. Jenny Hval describes it as such …
“Show was in a dance club. Huge wrecking/disco ball threatening to demolish the stage. Audience was well lit, looking at each other. Intimacy and performance team’s lipstick evenly distributed. I sang into a plastic flower, or an imaginary plastic flower.”
Electronic artist Kelly Lee Owens has also shared a hard-hitting remix of Jenny Hval’s ‘Kingsize’ track, which you can listen to here: http://bit.ly/1Ni8MlY
