“Fever Ray’s current single Seven is a smooth, filmy track about daydreaming in your youth… about suicide. At least that’s what I got from it. But despite it’s dark undertones, there’s no reason why Seven shouldn’t be a jam. The Twelves and I shared these sentiments and I’m psyched to premiere their Halloween-like disco remix.”

“An overflowing crowd waited amidst blue light, a low drone came across the soundsystem, incense quickly filled the air with a nearly opaque wave of smoke. Karen Dreijer Andersson and her four band mates took the stage as costumed silhouettes and remained as such for the first several songs. It was exactly the beginning of a sold-out Fever Ray show at Webster Hall that you’d expect.”
Resident Advisor invites Fever Ray to mix the Halloween installment of their Monthly Podcast! Download the mix here.
“It’s music that’s often frightening—whether she intends it to be or not—because of the way she twists, masks and terrorizes her own voice, a haunting one-of-a-kind sound that has quickly become a trademark. “It is interesting what you find scary, and especially within music,” says Andersson.”

“A paranormally gifted woman stands in front of a barren, twisted and wintry landscape, her face expressionless and intentions unclear. The mysterious cover of Fever Ray’s self-titled debut album invokes a pitch-black, pagan sensibility.”

“Interestingly enough, despite standing in the second row, I still have no idea what Karin DreijerAndersson looks like. Fever Ray may ultimately be the expression of a solo artist, but it’s become so much more — a fact driven home by elaborate stage design by Andreas Nilsson. Fringe-adorned lamps blinked ominously to the beat-heavy music. Clumps of incense burned at the front of the stage — their sick sweetness washing over the audience. Man-made pathetic fallacy at its finest, fog freely billowed. By the end of the set the entire room would be nearly obscured.”
The Double Disc Edition will contain the CD album plus the 2 cover versions the band performed live during their tour (Vashti Bunyan’s Here Before and Nick Cave and Anita Lane’s Stranger Than Kindness) & a DVD featuring all the videos from the project so far and more exclusive never seen before video for Stranger Than Kindness!

“[Fever Ray works] at the absolute forefront of sound, stage and the ways the two inform each other…Fever Ray never shies from its more theatrical and modern impulses, the real emotions Andersson’s music brings out — enticement, disquiet and unknowable mystery — are much older than the stage”

“I just went to the Metropolitan Art Museum, and was in the Papua New Guinea section, I saw masks and things that are in the video for ‘If I Had A Heart,’ things that Andreas Nilsson put in there without telling me. I also saw the African mask exhibition, which was incredible. I get very moved by folk movements, events where you dress up for a party but in a way that allows everybody to do it. They use easily accessible materials for their outfits. It’s not like the culture for an opera class—it’s for everybody. Right now, there is a big lack of rituals in everyday life.”

“Attempting to put Fever Ray’s live show into words is a bit like trying to tell someone about the weird dream you had last night. It’s virtually impossible to describe the Swedish banshee’s visual and sonic spectacle and do it any kind of justice.”

“Karin Anderssen’s compositions, less clubby than her work in The Knife but more melodically developed, would seem ready made for reworks, full of spare, moody electronics and tantalizing texture. Oh, and that voice, that instantly recognizable voice, serpentine, witchlike, giving a spooky edge even to lyrics as innocuous as “I have a friend I’ve known since I was seven…we used to talk on the phone…we talk about love, about dishwasher tablets.”
