Jenny Hval releases her new album Apocalypse, Girl on Sacred Bones next week, and ahead of that the New York Times is streaming it in full.

Apocalypse, Girl follows Hval’s 2014 collaboration with Susanna, which we thought was one of the year’s best albums, and features production from noise artist Lasse Marhaug and collaborations with Øystein Moen of Jaga Jazzist, Thor Harris of Swans, improv cellist Okkyung Lee and harpist Rhodri Davis.

The label describes it as “a hallucinatory narrative that exists somewhere between fiction and reality, a post-op fever dream […] of transgressive pop music”, which should be enough to pique anyone’s interest. Great artwork, too.

Hval is touring the UK next week, with shows in Brighton, Manchester, Cardiff and a headline London show at Café Oto on June 14, before moving on to Europe and North America.
