Album of the Week: Classic Objects by Jenny Hval

Album: Classic Objects
Artist: Jenny Hval
Release Date: March 11, 2018
Label: 4AD Ltd
Favorite Tracks:

• Cemetery of Splendour
• Freedom

Thoughts: Norwegian art pop musician Jenny Hval’s most recent album reminds me of something from the 1980s.  Somewhere between Laurie Anderson and Suzanne Vega.  So, the weird part of the 80s, soft and honest, but strange.  It sounds good but I do feel bad that I am not as won over by this album as everyone else seems to be.

Rating: ***
