Oct 23, 2023Like everything else they’ve done, it doesn’t sound limiting or calculated or agonised over – it just sounds vibrant and magical.
-
Oct 27, 2023Selvutsletter is some of the duo's most expressive and widest-ranging work -- and given how committed Volden and Hval are to experimentation, that's saying something.
-
Dec 7, 2023The album is vigorous in its grooves and leaves a powerful, unifying impression with its words.
-
Oct 23, 2023On Selvutsletter, Hval slips into rabbit hole after rabbit hole, and all we can do is follow her down.
-
Oct 23, 2023Songs like “Re-entering” and “World on Fire” in particular feel like nothing more than wandering sketches. Still, Hval and Volden’s modus operandi has been to push barriers, regularly tickling some pleasure point you didn’t know you needed, while perhaps neglecting the one you thought you did.

UncutOct 23, 2023Selvutsletter is a shapeless sprawl in places but covers an impressive range. [Nov 2023, p.31]

Oct 23, 2023While technically accomplished, Selvutsletter doesn’t do enough with its occasional moments of wonder – the glorious chorus of Hvals that arise during Sea White, for one – to justify its many lengthy, meandering sections.
