Swedish musician and composer Anna von Hausswolff has announced a new album, ICONOCLASTS. It’s due out on October 31 via YEAR0001, her first release for the label, and she produced it with regular collaborator Filip Leyman. Ethel Cain, Iggy Pop, Abul Mogard, saxophone player Otis Sandsjö, and her sister Maria von Hausswolff all appear on it, and you can see the cover art and tracklist below.
She’s shared two singles, “The Whole Woman” featuring Iggy Pop, and “Stardust.” “Let’s break up with basic convenience and established ideas of how to live life,” she says of “Stardust,” adding, “Let’s not roll our thumbs when the world is crumbling.”
About “The Whole Woman,” she says, “Sometimes we need to throw ourselves into the deepest of waters and hold our breath as long as we can. Once we reach the surface we can see beyond the pettiness of life and speak only the truth. This love song is a tribute to the man who knows how to listen; it is for the woman who is brave enough to dive in.”
