“There is only one woman on the planet who can sing a line about the modern and miraculous cleaning products we humans use to wash the crud off our dishes, and still make it sound impossibly sinister. Karin Dreijer is that woman.”

“Somber electronic droning greeted our ears as we entered the low light of the Metro Saturday night for the sold out Chicago appearance of Karin Dreijer Andersson of The Knife’s newest project, Fever Ray. Andersson channeled the occult, burying the audience beneath a dense fog of smoke penetrable only by the geometric beams of light slicing through the air. Mystery, intrigue and awe were the themes of the evening as we joined the rest of the audience with mouths agape, soaking in sensory overload.”

The next single to be released from the album Fever Ray will be Seven, is released today. The single package includes new remixes by Crookers, Martyn, CSS, Marcel Dettmann, Seth Troxler and Nick Chacona.

Fever Ray can announce that cellist Hildur Gudnadóttir will be opening the shows on the 2009 Finale Tour…

One glimpse into Hildur Gudnadóttir’s discography is enough to reveal the breadth and versatility of the Icelandic cellist and composer’s musicianship. Included among her more high-profile works are collaborations with Angel and Pan Sonic, as well as guest appearances with fellow Icelanders múm and Jóhann Jóhannsson. In addition, she has supported Animal Collective on tour as a member of Stórsveit Nix Noltes, has composed music for theater, film, and dance, and has co-written a choir score with Throbbing Gristle for the Derek Jarmen film In the Shadow of the Sun.

While she has consistently added a richness and emotional depth to these collaborative works, Gudnadóttir has only recently begun to branch out as a solo artist. Adopting the moniker Lost in Hildurness, she released her debut album, Mount A, back in 2007. It’s a highly reflective and exploratory work that beautifully showcases Gudnadóttir’s understanding and love for the cello’s expressive capabilities. On Without Sinking, her first release with Touch, Gudnadóttir drops her pseudonym and demonstrates an emerging confidence in her individual sound.

“Song after song sounded like the climax scene of a vampire film. A couple of the bandmembers were dressed in priestly attire, adding to the gothic atmosphere. But there’s nothing wallowing about the music. It’s subtly uplifting with Dreijer enigatically singing about friendship, love and desire. The lasers danced joyfully, and the band, while concealed, was ebullient. Bright repeatitve melodies tumbled impatiently into each other.”

“Not willing to miss this possibly one and only chance, Arcade Fire’s Win Butler, Melissa Auf Der Maur and Priestess frontman Mikey Heppner were among the Montreal rock royalty spotted at Metropolis last night for the haunting, trippy solo project of Swedish electronic artist Karin Dreijer Andersson.”

“What does a Fever Ray concert look like? Well, imagine stumbling upon a pagan sacrificial ritual in a misty forest under the blanket of night… if a laser-tag game was raging the heavens. Oh, and don’t forget a touch of Grandma’s house, maybe some antique lamps scattered around the stage. It might look something like that.”
