Like Wall Street Zombies they are now back to juice out the last drips of humanity. Led by the taskmaster Karin, the warlords of monetary jungle are ready to give you a last piece of monotonic bourgeois joy before you and the world around you implode.

Fever Ray recently unveiled a full studio recording of the Peter Gabriel track ‘Mercy Street’ which has been a feature of the recent, acclaimed live shows.
That track is now available to pre-order as a limited edition, numbered 7″ vinyl, backed with Dry And Dusty, featuring cover art by Andreas and Mattias Nilsson from the Fever Ray and Rabid Records stores. Release day is 6th September.
