ShitKid Channels the Sound and Spirit of Nancy Sinatra In Her New Video

Watch Åsa Söderqvist turn an old Volvo into the coolest vehicle on the road.

The story goes that Lee Hazlewood wrote "Sugar Town", the 1966 hit that Nancy Sinatra took to the top of charts, after seeing kids at a club dosing up sugar cubes with LSD. The song is one of Åsa Söderqvist's favourites and as ShitKid, the 24-year-old Gothenberg-based musician has both reinvented it and called it her own.

The track, which originally appeared on her EP 2, is included on her debut album Fish that was released earlier this month on Stockholm based label PNKSLM Recordings. Taking on minimal drums and guitar and Åsa's relaxed verging on blasé vocal delivery, it oozes Nordic cool and weird.

The video for the song looks like some kind of Scandinavian White Stripes with the colours red and white features prominently from Åsa's coat to the Volvo to blood spurting from a mouth. It also kind of turns into some kind of Russ Meyer film.

Watch below and remember "Shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo Sugar Town".

'Fish' is available now on PNKSLM Recordings.
