Jenny Hval - Iris Silver Mist (Vinyl)
Many of the songs on Jenny Hval's 'Iris Silver Mist' were created as a mixtape, as one continuous flow of ideas. Before the songs were recorded, they were performed like this, as long, shapeshifting pieces, as part of the interdisciplinary piece 'I want to be a Machine'.
The album has kept this feeling of one song seeping into the next. Field recordings blur the line between music and the world around it, too. In ‘Heiner Müller’, we hear the sound of the artist singing to herself while walking her dog in the rain. ‘Spirit Mist’ includes the hum of the Oslo subway. “It is about moving,” Jenny says about the album, but she means it in a more symbiotic way. Moving into the sound, as one song turns into the next, as she turns into the music, and her perfume does so, too.

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
