Performance art! Melting icecaps! It’s the strangest\/best music video<\/a> you’ll see all week.<\/p>\n

\"HK119\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Finnish musician and performance artist HK119<\/a> is in a world of her own, quite literally. Think The Knife’s ecstatic experimentalism as vocalised by Nico at her most atonal and you might come somewhere near Heidi Kilpel\u00e4inen’s brand of out-there electronic music. Christoffer Berg, who’s worked with Fever Ray and Little Dragon was so drawn to her compelling blend of weirdness that he ended up producing her new album, Imaginature.<\/p>\n

For her video, ‘Iceberg’, Kilpel\u00e4inen shudders, twitches and wiggles her hips against an abstract backdrop of crashing seas, all the while dressed as the aforementioned iceberg. Then she collapses into a heap and lets loose a free jazz interpretation of Catelyn Stark’s scream at the end of the last Game of Thrones. Trust us when we say HK119 is the oddest thing you’ll see all week – we think it works. Do you?<\/p>\n
