Katatonia’s New Video for “Lethean” is Confusing but Cool

Katatonia video still

The Swedish website Rocknytt.net has premiered a video for Katatonia’s “Lethean,” which you can watch exclusively right here. The song is dreamy and I love it; one of the stand-out tracks on last year’s most excellent album Dead End Kings. The video is pretty weird, and though I can’t really follow the plot-line — I think there’s a sort of city mouse / country mouse-type thing going on with the two woman protoganists — the video only makes stronger my desire to spend time in the Swedish countryside.

Or is the video simply a chronicle of two lost souls connected by some common thread, a reference to Greek mythology? Or perhaps its title is a reference to Star Trek? Given Anders Nystrom’s penchant for nerdery, I wouldn’t rule it out.
