Jenny Hval has released a stream of her track Conceptual Romance.

The song features on the Norwegian artist’s upcoming album Blood Bitch, which will launch on September 30.

Hval says of the follow-up to 2015’s Apocalypse, Girl: “This is my most fictional and most personal album. It’s also the first album where I’ve started reconnecting with the goth and metal scene I started out playing in many years ago, by remembering the drony qualities of Norwegian Black Metal.

“It’s an album of vampires, lunar cycles, sticky choruses, and the smell of warm leaves and winter.”

Hval has several tour dates planned over the coming months in support of the album. She released a video for the track Female Vampire last month.
