“In what will more than likely be set in stone as the single most memorable concert we’ll experience in 2009, the mysterious project from Karin Dreijer-Andersson, Fever Ray, played their first NYC show on Monday night to a sold-out-like-whoa crowd at Webster Hall”

“Inspired by equal parts “Exorcist,” a Pink Floyd planetarium show and your grandmother’s basement, Fever Ray’s visual spectacle was as eerie and entrancing as the devilish, downbeat tunes pouring from the speakers. Though both of Andersson’s projects are cut from the same experimental cloth, the differences between them were apparent from the first ominous notes. Where the Knife bubbles and bounds with one eye toward the dancefloor, Fever Ray slithers with subdued energy, quietly winding haunting vocals harmonies and peculiar keyboard melodies around hypnotizing tribal rhythms. Even with the cornea-searing lasers bouncing around the balcony, Fever’s first-ever U.S. concert was a slower, more subtle affair than the Knife’s Blue-Man-Group-on-ecstasy live events.”
