Fever Ray: "Keep the Streets Empty for Me" (Video)
Fever Ray's new video for "Keep the Streets Empty for Me" isn't as readily horrifying as her other videos have been, but it's still very much a Fever Ray video. Much like it's track, the clip is austere, mysterious, and vaguely unsettling as it follows two girls across some macabre urban nightscape; and still, these ladies should be lucky that they found themselves caught in the least of Fever Ray's nightmares.

They don't really have anything in common aesthetically or musically, but I feel like Mum is really spiritually akin to ABBA. Witnessing and listening to the outfit's carefree, sunny ways as they busk "If I Were a Fish" and "The Smell of Today Is Sweet Like Breastmilk in the Wind" on the streets of Paris, I feel like Agnetha, Bjorn, Benny, and Anni-Frid would really dig the style of their fellow Scandinavians. Just listen to all of those la's!

The Antlers: "Shiva" and "Atrophy" (Acoustic for Laundormatinee) (Video)
The Antlers' first trip to My Old Kentucky Blog's Laundromatinee was full of loyal takes on their excellent Hospice. This time out, the fellas cut an acoustic session for the blog at this year's Monolith Festival at Red Rocks. Above is video of "Shiva" and below is "Atrophy." These songs are powerful in any format.
