Blood Bitch by Jenny Hval

Blood Bitch is the sixth studio album by Norwegian musician Jenny Hval, released on September 30, 2016 on Sacred Bones Records. Co-produced by Hval and Lasse Marhaug, the album was preceded by the singles, "Female Vampire", "Conceptual Romance" and "Period Piece". Described as "an investigation of blood," Blood Bitch is a concept album which draws parallels between a fictional time-travelling vampire, named Orlando, and Hval's own experiences touring her previous studio album, Apocalypse, girl (2015). The album's lyrical content is also influenced by menstruation, 1970s horror and exploitation films and Virginia Woolf.
