Video: Fever Ray - When I Grow Up

The second single off of Fever Ray’s endlessly relistenable self titled album finds itself a new home in video form. "When I Grow Up" may not have all the mystery as it’s older video sibling, but it’s still pretty fucking weird. Some young freak folk conjures the water spirits with a creepy dance and, obviously, there’s some gross perv who’s hypnotized by her ways. But lets be honest here. If I saw that girl wearing those, uh, "clothes" and grooving on the diving board to my backyard pool, I’d find it pretty hard not to stare.
