Coachella: Fever Ray and all its delirium

Who: Fever Ray at the Mojave Tent.
In 3 or Fewer Words: Apparitions with soundtrack.
I’ll Remember This Until My Next Tarot Card Reading Because: Karin Dreijer Andersson and crew looked as if they rode in from the desert on horses, carrying light sabres. For sheer presentation, Fever Ray should win some kind of Coachella award for set design – costumes, lasers, blinking lamps and smoke all created a backdrop for the Swedish songstress’ piercing vocals and haunting music. The sound mix got a little bit weird at times, but the visuals were so stunning you had no choice but to be completely mesmerized. Few sets I’ve seen at Coachella have realized the vision of the music so accurately. I’m still hoping I didn’t get beamed up, or will have nightmares about it.
What I’d Tell My Friend Who Was at Jay-Z: It was VH-1 vs. the Sci-Fi Channel.
