LISTEN: Jenny Hval – That Battle Is Over

New album Apocalypse, girl's first single - give it a play below

Last week, we heard that tQ favourite Jenny Hval was putting out her next album, Apocalypse, girl, on her new label Sacred Bones on June 8. Now, we’ve been given a full play of the record’s first single, ‘That Battle Is Over’, where organ lines and a loose drum loop provide a sound bed for Hval to posit: "Statistics and newspapers tell me I am unhappy and dying, that I need man and child to fulfil me…" As well as the track itself, we’ve also heard the fine news that Hval’s bound for these shores not long after the album’s released, as part of a world tour that began in Canada this week. Take a look at the dates below:

JUNE

Wed 10 – Royal Festival Hall, London w/ Perfume Genius

Thu 11 – Gullivers, Manchester

Fri 12 – The Hope & The Ruin, Brighton

Sat 13 – Clwb Ifor Bach, Cardiff

Sun 14 – Cafe OTO, London
