What can we learn about the Nordic region if we pay close attention to its musical sounds and visions? A lot, it turns out. This book elevates the conversation on ‘Nordicness’ to a new level of critical insight, and it does so by taking seriously the audiovisual vernacular of our time: the music video, in its myriad forms. This collection is truly a treasure trove for anyone interested in music videos and their cultural significance in the Nordic region, from the pre-televisual rock films of the 1950s to emerging post-digital forms of the 2020s. Tore Størvold Associate Professor of Music Norwegian University of Science and Technology
