Lost Girls, the Norwegian duo made up of former LGW curator Jenny Hval and Håvard Volden, released their sensual debut LP Menneskekollektivet in 2021, which was named one of the year’s best releases by Pitchfork, The FADER, Brooklyn Vegan, Paste, and more. Now, they return with their second album Selvutsletter, released through Smalltown Supersound.
Selvutsletter combines the intuitive, late night feel of Lost Girls’ previous work with experimental rock music. Lyrically, the album's topics include cities after dark, music rituals, band practices of the ‘90s, and the early days of the internet; "these were Hval's own memories of her hometown and her obsession with creating music as a way of leaving it behind or even setting it on fire." Listen below.
Lost Girls perform at Le Guess Who? 2023 on Thursday, 9 November. Also performing that day are a.o. Dudu Tassa & Jonny Greenwood, Brìghde Chaimbeul, W.I.T.C.H., Joanna Sternberg, Slauson Malone 1, and many more.
