“Stockholm's extreme black and white contrast is something that’s really inspiring to work with," says Kate Akhurst of the Swedish pop collective Kate Boy. "It’s a place of calm.” Originally from Australia, Akhurst, along with bandmates Hampus Nordgren Hemli and Markus Dextegen, lead us through today’s after-dark tour of the Swedish capital, directed by Marie Kristiansen. The Norwegian filmmaker and photographer––who has shot for SHOWstudio, Wallpaper* and Dazed Digital––reflects on Kate Boy’s own shadowy identity and the city’s long, dark winters in the monochrome film, which is soundtracked by the quartet’s debut single “Northern Lights,” a response to Akhurst’s first encounter with the aurora borealis. “I aimed to make it abstract and graphic, to capture the contrasts and the shape of the architecture––odd, surreal sites that resemble the band’s aesthetic,” adds Kristiansen of the locations that include the famed Tunnelgatan passage and the mirrored hallways of Sven-Harry’s Art Museum. Of the band’s intriguing name, Akhurst explains: “Kate Boy is a fictitious extra member of the band, an androgynous character that we felt so drawn to because it’s great to not to be put into boxes before you’ve even heard the music.”
