Description
Jenny Hval’s 'Iris Silver Mist' unfurls like a vapor—ephemeral yet immersive, an exploration of sensory intimacy in the absence of live music. Inspired by a perfume of the same name, the album trades stage lights and sweat for scent and stillness. In the quiet aftermath of the pandemic’s isolation, Jenny Hval turned to fragrance as a tactile substitute, a new conduit for memory and embodiment. That fascination became the foundation for these songs, where sound and scent merge as invisible yet potent forms of connection.
Throughout 'Iris Silver Mist', mist, smoke, and smell interlace with elliptical melodies and poetic repetition. On lead single "To Be a Rose", a pulsing drum machine underpins Hval’s blend of spoken-word and dreamy pop, evoking transformation, inheritance, and porous identities. Roses become cigarettes, seasons blur, and familial gestures form emotional choreography. The album embraces fluidity—of form, of self, of history—inviting listeners into a delicate sensory world where absence becomes presence. Haunting yet gentle, experimental yet warm, 'Iris Silver Mist' captures Jenny Hval at her most intimate and conceptually rich.
