Menneskekollektivet is the debut album by the Norwegian art pop duo Lost Girls, musicians Jenny Hval and Håvard Volden. It was released in March 2021 by Norwegian record label Smalltown Supersound.
Composition[edit]
While the duo's 2018 EP Feeling worked in art punk,[2] Menneskekollektivet is "primarily a dance record"[3] and pushes further into Hval's "electronic explorations".[1]
