Hot on the heels of Kasbo<\/a>‘s sophomore album, The Making of a Paracosm<\/a>, <\/em> comes the second music video of the LP’s release cycle, a visual for “Shut The World Out<\/a>” featuring Frida Sundemo. The latest accompaniment epitomizes precisely what the word paracosm denotes: a “detailed imaginary world” that can originate in childhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a Foreign Family-orchestrated Q&A<\/a> on the music video, much of Kasbo’s inspiration for this world derived from Scandinavian folklore and children’s books, specifically those written by the renowned Astrid Lindgren, author of Pippi Longstocking<\/em>. Drawing on these influences, the visual begins with a little boy reading a children’s book in a homemade fort of quilts and blankets. The boy enters into the fantasy world of the book, landing somewhere amid a Swedish hillside. The chill-inducing reverie continues to become more and more ethereal as our main character adventures deeper into the intricacies of his own imagination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Encapsulating the whole of the album, “Shut The World Out” calls forth an escape that so many have yearned for this year. Both the song and its video deliver a surreal and fantastical yet grounding experience that can be undertaken below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
