“Konichiwa Bitches - Swede Electro Pop”

Spliced together from footage of a tent revival, this clip for Familjen's "Det Snurrar I Min Skalle" (which translates to "It's Spinning Inside My Head") turns fluorescent electro-pop pulses into grainy black-and-white, but without losing any color. Director Johan Söderberg syncs the preacher and the congregation to Johan T. Karlsson's beats, creating something very new from something very old.

The images are from the religious movement The Children of God (named Familjen in Swedish)

Something about this music reminds me of the soundtrack to Katamari Damacy. I wonder if they will have this on the soundtrack for Beautiful Katamari that is coming out soon.

wow, this is an undeniably excellent song, really surprisingly good actually. and on the first viewing of the video I found it sharply humorous; but after finding out what religious group the video is actually of, I stopped laughing. I recently saw a short documentary on the cult of the "children of god" and can honestly say that I find it difficult to remember a time when I felt more thoroughly disturbed after having watched such a show. The acts of child abuse, among other things, these people committed are beyond incomprehensibly horrific.
