Jenny Hval Announces Tour, Shares “Female Vampire” Video: Watch
Last month, Jenny Hval announced her upcoming album Blood Bitch, which is out September 30 via Sacred Bones. Now, she’s announced a new tour in support of album. It includes dates across North America and Europe including a set at next month’s Pitchfork Music Festival. The announcement is accompanied by a video for the previously released track “Female Vampire.” Directed by Jenny Berger Myhre and shot on an iPhone, it features Hval and her friends replicating horror cinema. Find the dates and the video below. Hval shared a statement about the video:
“What does eternity feel like? How do you ‘live’ when there is no death? Usually, the vampire is depicted as a lonesome, all-knowing and ancient creature combining violence, aggressive sexuality and deceitful youth. The pack behind the video for ‘Female Vampire’ wanted to explore vampiric eternity in a different narrative: in a group of romancing friends. The vampire friends move through their hometown of Oslo, partaking in public and private rituals of moving together. We also wanted to combine ideas from old vampire trash movies and modern trashy iPhone videos, resulting in an enigmatic world of time-lapse like slow motion where everything is always moving, or moving on. Not there, or not there yet.”
