There is this strange Scandinavian tradition to read and watch crime stories during Easter. In fact, the bloodier the better. Why this is I have no idea, but in honour of this morbid tradition have a look at this creepy, wonderful video by Swedish artist Fever Ray.

Fever Ray is the solo debut of Karin Elisabeth Dreijer Anderson, better known as part of the duo The Knife. With Fever Ray she has taken the dark, disturbing bits of The Knife and enhanced it. The video is also something to watch, with its feel of Carl Theodor Dreyer's creepy symbolism meeting the twisted world of David Lynch. Enjoy.

Oh my poor heart! This is so wonderfully creepy! I wonder what the song's lyrics are like, I am always interested in these things.

It is so creepy and enigmatic, and dark, dark, dark. I rather like it a lot too. (though I'm still a bit unsure what the deal is with all the African masks)
