Karin Dreijer’s vocals are anything but apologetic. They are razor sharp, emanating from an underworld, burning through slick electronica as crystal salt on frozen ground
“The album has a mixture of acoustic and electronic sounds… something hard and visionary combined with something that is more organic. I thought the live show should embrace that feeling. I also felt it was important to separate this show from The Knife show and create something that feels more organic and less hi-tech.” Andreas Nilsson

If I Had A Heart remix premiere at Stereogum. Released on 7″ January 26th.
It’d be interesting to see how Andreas Nilsson would shift his eerie “If I Had A Heart” video to match onetime BTW Fuck Button’s bouncier remix. Instead of Knife Karin Dreijer’s dark, pulsing, ambient single we get one of those catchy, crystalline FU build-ups that uses the original as its starting point then weaves it through the fuzz like a ghostly sigh until its unexpected cut.
For those who think 16 hours is too long to wait for the digital release of the Knife’s Karen Dreijer Andersson’s solo effort as Fever Ray, noise-mongerers Fuck Buttons have something to tide you over.

Based on the so-eerie-you-really-need-to-watch-it-now video for first single “If I Had a Heart”, fans of Silent Shout won’t have a hard time loving Fever Ray’s self-titled debut
