The Glorious Art Of Breaking Little Girls' Hearts And Blowing Big Boys' Brains

Released in 1986 on the Danish label Genlyd, this album represents an early phase in the career of Danish author and musician Lars Muhl. Emerging from a period of intense artistic experimentation within the Danish music scene, the record served as a vehicle for Muhl to explore complex themes of heartbreak and existential turmoil, blending his folk-influenced roots with the more polished, synth-forward production sensibilities typical of the mid-1980s.

The album's striking and provocative title, paired with its distinct minimalist aesthetic, reflects the era's tendency toward conceptual art-pop that challenged listener expectations. While the record did not achieve widespread international commercial success, it remains a notable entry in Muhl’s discography, marking his transition toward the more metaphysical and spiritual writing that would come to define his later literary career.
