March 11 street date. Norwegian musician and novelist Jenny Hval's new album "Classic Objects" is a map of places; past places, like the old empty Melbourne pubs Hval's band used to play in, public places Hval missed throughout lockdown, imagined, future places, and impossible places where dreams, hallucinations, death and art can take you. It is interested in combining heavenly things and plain things. As an exercise, Hval wrote straight-forward stories about life, investigating the stripped-down "just me" concept. She had been "just me" before too, when at 24, while living in Australia, she was diagnosed with celiac disease and could no longer begin her music career in the way she had foreseen. Since 2019's "The Practice of Love", Hval published the English translation of her third novel, "Girls Against God", and released an album under the name Lost Girls. Hval's spring North American tour will include a stop in Toronto (May 17th - Lee's Palace).
