Not only is Sweden hoarding all the best pop hooks, but now the innocent-looking Scandinavian country is trying to corner the market on videos too. 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, who has worked on videos for the Knife, the Streets, and Beyoncé, syncs the preacher and the congregation to Johan T. Karlsson's beats, creating something very new from something very old. And the woman dancing in tongues is one of my favorite video moments of the year.
