Music Montag: D E N A

The long-lost Music Montag! Someone sent me this when it came out in June, and I immediately lost and forgot all the details. So a big thanks to Ruth, who tweeted this just as Berlin is getting chilly, which seems to be the right time to listen to it:

walking in the cold, and imagine that it’s hot / winter’s long and summer is too short / nothing in between, I’m always wanting more

Other reasons to love Bulgarian-born D E N A‘s “Cash, Diamond Rings, Swimming Pools”: the video was taped at the Turkish market, which lends it a fun cash-in-hand, reverse-bling aesthetic; “special guest” Erlend Øye‘s dork-dancing; oh, and the music, which is a little like M.I.A, only without the politicking that makes you want to eat your own fingers. Raise your Feuer up!
