"Erlking" is a modern-day interpretation of the darkly seductive Erlkönig, featured throughout folklore and most famously in Goethe's poem and Schubert's musical interpretation. Glimpsing backwards through his many mirrors, the Erlking's flimsy paper crown and casual attire suggest a creature resigned to his dwindling magic in a metropolis far from the forest.
