Schultz and Forever ups the creep factor for his ‘Silvia’ video

On Copenhagen newcomer Schultz and Forever’s early tracks, it sounds like he’s picking out snapshots from every hangover he’s ever experienced. All coupled with the odd fragment of the night before. Queasy stomachs best avoid this - but for anyone remotely invested in the weirdo pop of Ariel Pink and his oddball ancestors, here’s a Dane worth taking notice of.

‘Silvia’ is Jonathan Schultz’s woozy daydream anthem. After flirting with self-indulgence, it breaks into the kind of nostalgia-laced chorus that’s been sapped straight out of a handheld radio set from the ‘60s.

For his accompanying video - premiering on DIY - Schultz mixes despair and lust with his customary, strange assault on the senses. Whether he’s breathing heavily on a pane of glass, creepily looking into the distance, or sitting static on a chair in an empty room - the beginning of a grim murder scene, surely - he stands out in a crowd already brimming with characters.
