"Jenny Hval and Kim Myhr came up with the title for their experimental collaborative piece, In The End His Voice Will Be The Sound Of Paper, as the result of a conversation around Bob Dylan's withering voice. Paper, of course, does have a sound, in the same sense that Hval's voice could itself be described as paper-thin. But the figurative aspect of the title implies death as a synaesthetic dissolve, of semantic content submerged back into a blank medium. The ensuing record, which enlists the considerable chops of the Trondheim Jazz Orchestra, is very much a meditation on voice; specifically, what is it?".

"Det här är andra gången TJO samarbetar med gitarristen Kim Myhr, den här gången bjöd han i sin tur in sångerskan och textmakerskan Jenny Hval. Ett smått genialt beslut. De båda tar med sig olika uttryck som glider in i och befruktar varandra. Jenny Hvals visk- och pratsjungande sång som på något märkligt sätt lyckas binda samman poetisk ömtålighet med attityd samt Kim Myhrs utmärkta blandning av minimalism, americana, glittrande arpeggion och fria improvisationer som sniffar uppskattande på konstmusiken via den tiosträngade gitarren. I denna blandning som känns helt naturlig finns pop som ett avgörande inslag, men den möts av en värld av små abstrakta ljud från den månghövdade orkestern. Droner dyker upp, rytmiska mönster upprepas, melodier med sång kommer fram. Stämningen må vara mörk men man blir upprymd".

"With considerably fewer members than Fire! Orchestra, Trondheim Jazz Orchestra does not include as many brass and reeds players and so does not pack the same punch. Instead, it features more instruments such as acoustic guitar, harp, harmonium and percussion that can be deployed to subtly add coloration to the ensemble's soundscape ... Across eight tracks, ranging in length from three-and-three-quarter minutes to just under eight minutes, Hval's delicately expressive voice is perfectly framed by the understated accompaniment of the orchestra. Most importantly, her voice is never overwhelmed or lost, so her every utterance and nuance is heard clearly. The end results make compelling, riveting listening and are a credit to all concerned".
