The syndication of this blog has once again jumped, expanding to a few new places, so for those of you new to these posts, often you will find a new Video Of The Day featuring short clips, trailers, music videos, oddities or "insightful" news.
"Triangle Walks", her third single, is a dark video with blasts of color with close imagery and the music, if you are unfamiliar with Fever Ray, is a fusion of downtempo, synths brewing an ambiance atop familiar grooves and layers with instruments and additional voices of the tribal world variety.
Catch Fever Ray on tour this Summer and if you reside in the states, she will be here for Autumn.
Additional note: I am planning to attend my friend Kelly Ogden's Rollerskating Bday party at The Echoplex at The Echo this evening... Should be interesting to roll all over a concert venue! Have a great day!
The timing of this posting actually just fell into place.
I have been recently corresponding with my old pal and band mate, Matthew Sims aka Mount Sims who relocated to Berlin, Germany to unleash his work yonder! As, Mt Sims, he has actually released a great album that I have been recently playing more and more. In one of our latest emails, he wrote about a project in which he is involved with Olof Dreijer, one half of the band, The Knife.
The other half of The Knife, the sister, Karin Dreijer Andersson, is responsible for the video below.
Her solo project, which is rather interesting, is called, Fever Ray.
Now if the similarity of the video imagery for these two is not enough... what really got me after I was set to post this, is that Matt, mentioned above, was previously signed to Gigolo Records, which was owned by DJ HELL, who is responsible for the following video which was already slated for today.
Before we enter the music of The Twilight Zone, I..... (pause) The crazy folks from the cable company came and interrupted my thoughts!!!
I was actually called in to work today at Universal, so I must depart. at the bottom of this post is another reminder for Friday.
And now for the other video.
DJ Hell - Angst (a dark but soothing, mello groove) from his forthcoming release, "Teufelswerk"
Have a great day!
This Friday, Red Light District, my baby, is performing to celebrate our Debut Album release at The Black Heart Masque Ball at RUIN. Hopefully you can make this!!!
