Sep 30, 2016This album is her most focused work to date. Not only that, but it is deeply personal, introspective and sometimes, disturbing. But, the glue that hold it all together is Jenny's vocals and the way she massages her words to create a world all her own. Some of the tracks may be difficult to get through, but the end result is a breathtaking journey that makes you question what it is to be human.

Oct 11, 2016I just don't get how some reviewers just ignored such a masterpiece as Innocence is Kinky and are loving this weird mess. This album has a cool concept, but is sooo unfocused instrumentally.

Apr 10, 2019A deeply personal album exploring some of the most developed and transcendental themes running throughout the entirety of the LP. Remaining true to some of her lo-fi aesthetics of previous works and incorporate dub and rhythmic synths, instrumentation wraps and intertwines to create eerie tales exploring femme, witchy and dark aesthetics.

The WireNov 8, 2016This wonderful music is most certainly bleeding freely from somewhere deep inside Jenny Hval. [Nov 2016, p.58]

Oct 19, 2016Despite controversial lyrics, unconventional song structures, and a lofty concept, Blood Bitch somehow fits like a defiant glove against all the odds.

Oct 13, 2016There are so many ways into Blood Bitch that it’s dizzying: Chris Kraus, Nino Nardini, the synths, the immensely pillowy hooks, black metal, menstrala. The themes run from menstruation to vampires to capitalism to loneliness to pap smears, and any thread you pick can take you to the core. You have been invited in.
