Album Review: Jenny Hval - Blood Bitch

No one makes music anything like Jenny Hval's.

A cinematic combination of avant-garde and noise-pop, it'd be a sub-genre unto itself if anyone knew what to call it. Blood Bitch is a concept album revolving around the theme of blood - in particular menstruation - re-imagining it as a source of artistic and creative power. While not as revelatory as 2015's Apocalypse, girl Hval once again proves her tireless resourcefulness, be it through the visceral heavy breathing of the title track or the unpredictable heavily processed vocal carnage of The Plague.
