[video] The Sweptaways & Jens Lekman :: “Happiness Will Be My Revenge”
Posted by PJ in New, Random, The Yellow Stereo, VideosI don’t know anything about this collaboration between The Sweptaways and Jens Lekman, but all I know is that I just watched this video a couple of minutes ago and I absolutely love this song. The video is quite clever as well, but this has to be one of the catchiest songs I’ve heard this month. Seriously, this song kills.
Apparently, it’s off the new album The Sweptaways Show, which came out earlier this week in Scandinavia only. Might have to pick this one up, even if it’s just for this one song. Though, I really love this description for The Sweptaways (I’ve never heard of them):
The Sweptaways are thirty women in coordinated costumes who sing choir-arranged versions of pop tunes, and who always
long for the stage and their extravagant live performances.
We are a crazy lady in bikepants and plume swaying safely on high heels. We are a distinguished gentleman tipsy on portwine.
We are women without borders.
We like wearing things on our heads. Parrots, foilage, owls, high hats, turbans.
We like pineapple, spandex, feathers, gold, pumps, green forests, love and respect. Our wardrobes are as big as our ambitions.
We are one body with a gigantic heart and thirty brains.
We never cease to amaze ourselves.
We are a happening. A festival. A package-deal.
We are many surprises all in one.
We are a coverband, a band of pirates, a band of pearls.

lol It always makes me laugh when Jens tries so hard to fit those words in.
He sounds so good doing it, though! Need a new Jens album asap.
