Black Forest and Death By Chocolate do cake talk at Fever Ray

by Black Forest

Fever Ray gig, Shepherds Bush Empire, 17.07.09… here’s a snippet of a conversation that took place. Plus, a clip of “When I Grow Up”: possibly our favourite music video and song in a while, or maybe ever!

D.B.C – “I can’t see (peeks between the crowds), where is she?”
B.F – “Is that her in the African Voodoo ensemble? This is surreal and eerie and a bit scary.”
D.B.C – “You love it!”

B.F – “No, there she is, with the long blonde tresses, teensy, and drowned in the mic.”
D.B.C – “There’s nothing teensy in her voice – she echoes across the whole Empire.”
B.F – “She’s big small, small yet powerful.”
D.B.C – “Beautiful, haunting, I don’t need to see, I’m just listening.”

B.F – “I feel anxious, dreamy, chaste.”
D.B.C – “Chaste? You? – You on drugs?”
B.F – “No, just sober, humble, dreamy. ”
D.B.C – “I think the neon rays have hit your head.”
B.F – “I think I’m in love!”
D.B.C & B.F – “When I grow uuuuuup, I want to be a forester
Run through the moss on high heels, That’s what I’ll do, throwing out boomerang
Waiting for it to come back to meeeeeeee ….”
