Music video made from wacky old religious footage

Filip says,

Here's one of the awesome-est music videos I've seen, ever. Johan Söderberg (who's worked for Madonna or Robbie Williams, so he's no amateur) edited a vintage footage from a religious happening so it looks like a rave party. (The tele-evangelist being the lead singer.) It's kind of chilling to see that footage alone. Some of the old people in the audience are experiencing nothing less than trance.

Oh and the music is great, too. Well, if you're into electro that is. The band is called Familjen and they are from Stockholm, Sweden.

Video Link. The creepy dude at the beginning with the accordion -- hey, is that Richard James?

this is actually a lot more effective if you play Rammstein's "Keine Lust" in the background

Fantastic! This has opened a whole new interest in Swedish electro-pop!

Hey, you forgot to mention their website http://www.detsnurrariminskalle.com/

Its awesome, they're giving away their ep for free (they even encourage you to download and burn it) but you have to hunt around the page looking for the links to the mp3s!
