Jenny Hval – Take Care of Yourself

On Take Care of Yourself, in a sweet and sensitive voice, Jenny Hval chucks out lyrics about ‘your soft dick’ and ‘I grab my cunt,’ stating that ‘we don’t have to fuck.’ It’s confused and shocked some, but her power does not lie in words that have the ability to raise eyebrows, but the slow burning flutter of her glacial and hypnotic meanders, the impenetrable but open articulation, and simmering ambiance with which she crafts her work. You won’t be surprised to learn that her academic career had a heavy focus on gender, sexuality and feminism, and her CV features art and work on the subject. This is a persistent and provocative tune in that it’s pushing buttons that make people feel uncomfortable. It’s not the swear words above but the question ‘Am I loving myself now? Am I mothering myself? Am I taking care of myself now?’ that is really the most uneasy and troubling. She’s a brave woman for asking.

Take a group of girls, throw them into the sunshine with a bunch of guitars and watch the serotonin fuelled riffs roll. Madrid quartet HINDS have released new tune Chili Town, which has all the sass, bounce and fortune you can expect from the breakthrough band. It’s a song about winning, and winning with a smile on your face and sangria in the glass. Released to celebrate their signing to Lucky Number Music in their tenth anniversary year, it’s perfect for summer.

Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros – Home

So, being the procrastinating human being I am, this review is like 8 months late. Oops.
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4306i99LMXo]
So gonna start off by saying, this song is absolutely brilliant. As is the video, this whole collection of what looks like home videos, featuring guitars, sunshine, the beach, lovely things like that.
Then you’ve got this cute, ‘homey’, happy-go-lucky vibe to it. With all the whistling and reminders of the best things at home. The song describes that, yeah, home is great, and that when we get home, we love it and we’re happy so this relationship between the boy and girl, means that whenever they’re around each other, they’re happy and safe, like we are ourselves, at home.
I feel like this is a really summery song, and its not just the fact I’ve been playing this full volume in my garden… and annoying the neighbours.
SO GO AND LISTEN TO IT IF YOU’RE COOL OK. Joke, you’re on It’s All Happening, you’re already cool.
