Classic objects

"The Norwegian artist presents her most unified mind-body work to date, melody-filled art-pop that deals with the nature of self and the freedom of the unconscious".

"There's no hint of pretension in these explorations, nor is the embrace of melody a sign of commercial pandering (Cemetery of Splendour still manages to sneak in two minutes of crickets). This is untethered, uncluttered music, made with real heart by an artist at her peak".

"The Norwegian's unshowy electronica and lush lyrics complement each other on this intriguing slow reveal of an album ... There's nothing here that's particularly immediate, the likes of Cemetery of Splendour only gradually yielding their delights. Instead, Classic Objects is unceasingly intriguing".

"Jenny Hval er tilbage med et kritisk og uimodståeligt album ... hendes seneste fremragende album, 'Classic Objects', der består af lutter iørefaldende og atmosfæriske sange med vers og omkvæd på samtlige numre. Her er poppen spundet ind i jazz og new age med et ekko af 1980'er-blød vellyd ... Hendes sange er en samtale, der vender og drejer tekst og musik, men som også fletter den ind i opløftende pop. Her er Jenny Hval helt sin egen. En popmusiker, der undersøger, hvad en popmusiker kan med de elementer, der er til rådighed".

"'Classic Objects' is, on its face, Jenny Hval's most straightforward work: her songs flirt with conventional verse-chorus structure; her lyrics are clear and direct, drawn from life. Closer listening, though, reveals Hval interrogating those experiences, much as she has in her more conceptual work".
