Norwegian author Jenny Whale has shared her new song ‘The artist is absent’.

The songwriter, performer, author, and beyond, Jenny Hval has built an auspicious reputation in creative circles. Now signed to legendary label 4AD, her new album ‘Iris Silver Mist’ – named after the fragrance made by the French perfume house Serge Lutens – is out on May 2nd.

New song ‘The artist is absent’ is a probing piece of sound, recasting the Death of The Author trope for the social media saturated world we currently reside in.

Dancing amid the gloom, Jenny Hval sings:

“We’re dancing to the tiktok
Of the doomsday clock”

The new single is accompanied by an extended mix – well, we say extended… the original is 83 seconds, and the fresh mix is less than a minute longer.

There is a video, however – directed by directorJenny Merges Myhreit features Jenny Hval and longtime collaboratorOrfee Schuijt.

Tune in now.
