“The best thing I saw all night was Fever Ray. Her set was basically the most enveloping show I’ve witnessed for as long as I can remember, I can’t gush enough… Think the Brothers Grimm take Peyote then put on a conceptual West End show about Native American philosiphies of motherhood, with Jim Henson’s workshop circa 1984 on the set and costumes.”

Continuing in the dark path of “When I Grow Up” and its precursor “If I Had A Heart,” Karin Dreijer’s assembled another creepy, eerie, visually stunning clip for Fever Ray’s “Triangle Walks.” Basically we get Dreijer’s in her face paint with other shadowy bodies amid blue shadows and a fringed, bar-fly lampshade that occasionally offers a warmer orange feel to the otherwise cold surrounds.

“It was a bit scary at first because I hadn’t been working on my own for so many years,” says Karin of her new arrangements. “When I got used to it I had a small studio set up south of Stockholm. It was really interesting to go into my own ideas without compromising.”

“Amidt the labyrinth of barren dressing rooms that constitute the fifth floor of London’s Royal Festival Hall Karin Dreijer Andersson (aka the delectable anti-hero of this year, Fever Ray) sits soberly, cross-legged in the dark. Remarkably at ease for a debut UK gig and her fourth show ever under current moniker, the expansive corridors are lined with a veritable Scandinavian electro monarchy, from chart-battering princes and tonight’s headliners Röyksopp to edgy (fringed) Swedish starlet Robyn. The exclusivity of Ether Festival’s Saturday night fever merits a similar level of anticipation to the majority of this year’s summer weekends and with only a handful of dates lined up, Karin stripped down the tribal masks and face paint to talk touring phobia, Guns’n’Roses and a vital update on the future of The Knife.”

“What do you do as an artist when you have the world at your feet? The logical answer is to bang out another record and make hay whilst the sun shines. But Karin Dreijer Andersson, who along with sibling Olof Dreijer makes up much lauded Swedish duo The Knife, had other ideas. She decided to lock her self away and rebuild her home studio in the middle of deepest darkest winter. This is the story of Fever Ray…”

“The Knife’s Karin Dreijer Andersson’s solo project was always going to be something of note – how could that alien-like, trembling voice not produce excellent results? – but the direction it was to take was the source of mystery. Going to the darkest parts of The Knife’s musical palette was a sensible option indeed.”

“Nothing that Fever Ray does is as immediate or soaring as a track like “Marble House” but Fever Ray makes up for the lack of highs by being an even more all-enveloping experience than the last few Knife records.”

“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.”
