Jenny Hval Releases Conceptual Romance Video

(Prog) Jenny Hval has released a video for her track "Conceptual Romance." It's taken from the Norwegian artist's upcoming album Blood Bitch, which is scheduled for release on September 30. The video follows a promo for Female Vampire.

Hval's longtime collaborator Zia Anger directed the video and says it's "a conceptual menage a trois between Jenny, myself, and cheap tricks." Anger adds: "It is a literal burial of the effigies we have created in our video and performance collaborations over the past three years."

As for the ideas behind the shoot, Anger explains: "When I was a tiny child I saw my mother do a performance piece where she wore a skin suit just like the ones in the video. It really disturbed me, to have others see my mother 'naked.'

"We've moved from complete and total censorship to a world where you can commodify your body if you resemble a certain ideal. Some people have a choice in this, others do not." Read more and watch the video here.
