Karin Dreijer Andersson’s theatrical persona is a great inspiration. She is known to wear masks on stage to downplay the relevance of appearance. In an interview with Pitchfork, she stated:
“We think it’s important to let the music stand for itself more than focusing on the artist or the person who is behind it. Music has the potential and the capability to create something much bigger… it has the capability to be completely free, to do anything. And I think you limit that idea when you put yourself in front of it, in a way.”
I missed a chance to see her at Pop Montreal, but I get another chance tomorrow night at the Henry Fonda. I heard the stage production is amazing. I can’t wait.
