I am a stranger

A new Fever Ray video, a cover of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds' Stranger Than Kindness. Karin Andersson takes Nick Cave's song about sleazy, empty hotel sex and turns it into something eerie, otherworldly and, frankly, kinda frightening. I love it.

Stranger Than Kindness from Fever Ray on Vimeo.

It's pretty clear who the dark half of The Knife was... any word on whether they'll make another album together?

Woah, I just read The Knife are collaborating with a few others on an opera!

Also in this link, a scary sounding Halloween mix: http://www.residentadvisor.net/podcast-episode.aspx?id=178
