Talk about a Scandinavian chill!
Fever Ray - a.k.a. Karin Dreijer of
the Knife - knows how to put on a show. With incense, mist (...that smelled like maple syrup?), old time-y lamps, apocalyptic circus outfits and CLASS FOUR LASERS, the atmosphere at Webster Hall was eerie and otherworldly. In other words,
absolutely fitting for Fever Ray's grotesque pop (grotesque in a good way). However, these aesthetic directions created difficult conditions for photography, as it was hazy and extremely dark for most of the show. Also, photographers were only allowed at the periphery of the photo pit (lest we disturbed the lasers and mirrors center stage). I made due with what I had...
After the show, I managed to catch up with pals - Matt (
Music Slut), Abbey (
Punk Photo), and Jeff (
Culture of Me) - in the VIP balc. Oh, and Karin made an appearance in civilian clothes.
A slight fan moment ensued, one that I will not elaborate here.
