New Video: Keep The Streets Empty For Me

November 24th, 2009

“Fever Ray and the song Keep the Streets Empty struck us immediately with it’s fateful sound and images of abandoned suburbia begun to grow in front of our eyes. We wanted to continue the journey that started in the former videos and our ambition was to catch the feeling in a very direct and true way and create a video where dream and reality intertwine.”
