Lady Gaga Meets Fever Ray ... in the Freaking Twilight Zone

Categories: Music, Video


Karin Dreijer Andersson is known for being a bit ... odd. And as the vocalist/frontwoman for Swedish electronic acts The Knife and Fever Ray, she's maintained an aura of anonymity via masquerade stage shows, theatrical makeup effects, and/or actor stand-ins during the bands' music videos. But this acceptance "speech" (if you can call it that) on a recent Swedish awards show is certainly one of her weirdest appearances to date: It's like Lady Gaga, only transported into the beauty-is-ugliness alternate universe imagined by the classic Twilight Zone episode "The Eye of the Beholder." Freaky. If you want more arresting visuals spawned from Andersson's otherworldly music, peep the videos for The Knife's "Silent Shout" or the Fever Ray cover of Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds' "Stranger Than Kindness."
