Fever Ray’s Stranger Than Kindness by Andreas Nilsson
Tuesday, 10. November 2009 - 3:55 pm
Dry ice, green lazers, and a woman in massive, hulking buffalo-headdress cape thing.
Who else but Fever Ray? And Andreas Nilsson – who has transplanted his amazing stage design and costumes for Karin Dreijer Andersson’s amazing live performances for the new video for Stranger Than Kindness – a Nick Cave song, not on the album, sounding brilliantly like Avalon-era Roxy Music.
Weird, wonderful, and just like Andreas’ MVA-nominated video for If I Had A Heart, you can cut the dread atmosphere with a knife.

This is essentially the live show in a video.
But what a live show. Fantastic. Great video as well. Shame they are disbanding in December, Fever Ray are one the most original and fresh acts this century. Love it!
