Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Norwegian avant-garde artist delivers a highly conceptual, surprisingly catchy exploration of menstruation, 1970s exploitation cinema, and vampires. The album blends beautiful, breathy synth-pop melodies with unsettling audio collages and heavy breathing, perfectly capturing the aesthetic of vintage horror soundtracks. It serves as a brilliant, feminist reclamation of blood and bodily autonomy.
