The album’s latest single, “Pierced.”, explores a raw and vulnerable side of this next chapter. Following the haunting “Flower Moon,” “Pierced.” strips back the polish of Jouska’s earlier work, instead embracing darker, more fragile textures. “This one grew out of a shame tied to being seen at all,” Thorvik shares. “I’ve always struggled with visibility… This song captures that feeling.” Co-written with her partner Hans Olav Settem, the track blends shoegaze, noise rock, and trip-hop influences into a hypnotic, sensual arrangement. Listen below.

A few days ago, Jouska returned with “Flower Moon,” her first new track since that album. Written during a challenging time in New York, the song captures a moment of emotional dislocation. “Written in New York while I was trying to push through, but kept cancelling. I was anxious, distracted by things at home. Physically in one place, emotionally somewhere else, missing out on both,” she explains.

The result is a dreamlike, melancholic track that shimmers with soft-focus textures and understated melodies. “It felt like the right language for a song about emotional distance,” she adds. Produced with Hans Olav Settem, who also plays multiple instruments and provides backing vocals, the track also features contributions from Elias Tafjord (Sassy 009), Bård Kristian Kylland (GiddyGang), and Fredrik Svabø (Aurora). All together, they give layers to this beautifully foggy song, that is already featured in our Best Songs of 2025 playlist.
