Today, Swedish artist Alice Boman shared a video for her entrancing new song “End of Time,” which follows “Dreams” — the “sublime, heartbreaking” (Gorilla vs. Bear) single that earned early acclaim from The New York Times, Billboard, KEXP, The Line of Best Fit, Beats1, and more.
Directed by frequent collaborator Jeanne Lula Chauveau, the “End of Time” video finds Boman and a dancer interacting on a dimly lit bridge in Paris, adding another dreamlike layer to the kaleidoscopic track. “End of Time” is a stark declaration of devotion, made all the more powerful by her evocative vocal delivery.

There’s a small abandoned cabin far into the woods of southern Sweden. It seems like nobody been living there for a very long time. It’s still furnished but others have been there, tumbling around, looking for valuables. They’ve missed out. What’s left is the memories
of what i think is an older lady, a well-traveled lady. There’s a lot of old worn out suitcases in the attic and there’s a whole lot of handmade amateur art hanging about in the cabin, from all over the world. In a shelf there’s lots of 8mm film rolls. All left for itself.
I left the cabin that time and returned a year later. More people had been there and more things were missing. So i decided to borrow some rolls of film home with me. I recorded some of the films named “U.S.A.” and watched them. Maybe for the first time in over
3 decades.
Then I took the liberty to put together a video for “Burns” by using an unknown old lady’s memories.
