Norwegian artist, musician and writer Jenny Hval released her sophomore solo album, the striking and complex Innocence Is Kinky, last month on Rune Grammofon. Following her debut album, Viscera, which overflowed with intimate detail and surrealistic bodily imagery, Innocence Is Kinky weaves spellbinding new forms of intelligent, experimental pop with injections of mythology, theory and gender politics.
