'Youth knows No Pain...'

I love this girl - I saw her a couple of years ago at a festival and have continued to fall head over heels with her and her music. Her most recent album has a melancholy undercurrent which I also quite like.

She exudes that cool and aloof persona which I wholly admire. She dresses like a beautiful Scandinavian Bohemian - lots of (fake) fur, CND necklaces and dark eye-make up. Tres, tres cool.

I couldn't choose which video to post, because she looks so awesome-ly tribal and sexy in 'Get Some.' But the video for 'Sadness is a Blessing' is the one I've posted, because it matches the sorrow and melancholy of the song so very well, not to mention it's tinge of the irony, which is well placed.
