When last we saw Emil Svanängen he was busking in London while a bunch of kids laughed at him. In the Marcus Söderlund-directed video for Dear John opener "Airport Surroundings," he's out for revenge, first on his bike and then in his car, never once stopping for gas, and covering more ground than you'd expect from a three-minute Swedish pop song. OK, it's likely not revenge he's after, but coupled with the obsessive lyrics it makes for a somewhat dark, creepy stalker vibe -- albeit in a not-very-scary Death Cab For Cutie way.
