“More than three years have passed since the release of The Knife’s masterful goth-trance classic, Silent Shout, and Karin Dreijer Andersson’s brother and Knife-partner Olof Dreijer is supposedly hard at work on an opera about Darwin and both have no current plans to record again under the name. But whether the Knife as studio recording artists are indeed finished, Karin’s own debut as Fever Ray sounds like a natural successor to Silent Shout‘s eerie, bleak-night atmospheres given a few years to mature in solitude and wintry, wind-howl places”

“If The Knife’s initial records painted a rough, glitchy sketch of what was breeding between the Swedish siblings, third outing Silent Shout sent out a warning shot to boys with razor fringes and telecasters tussling with chart-effective dance beats. Fever Ray, Karin Dreijer Andersson’s first solo outing having temporarily flown the nest is as minimal a record as Japanese fusion cuisine.”

“The album moves at roughly the same pace and with the same general tone, rendering some of the songs indistinguishable at first, but committed listens will reveal this to be as nuanced and as rich of a production as anything either Dreijer has done.”

“As unlikely a step as Fever Ray may seem for one of electronic music’s most enigmatic figures, the results are triumphant”

“Yet listening to Fever Ray washed all of my anxieties away and instilled back into me the joys of music listenership, basically making this album a fucking godsend. Pick it up! Or don’t!”

“It’s easy to see that the Anderssons don’t view themselves as mere pop performers and even with its chinks, Fever Ray magnifies that discussion. It seems apt then to distort the oft-used ”suburbia-as-Hell” motif to “performer-in-Hell.”

“Each of these stylistic decisions work equally well, and what impresses most about Fever Ray is that none of the choices are obvious.”
