“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.”

“Electronic music – when it’s being made by natural performers, rather than solitary craftsmen – has always gone hand-in-hand with fluid identities; multiplying them, extending them, erasing them. Each medium, says McLuhan, is an extension of man; for every extension, says Baudrillard, there’s a corresponding amputation… or castration. These are the kind of dark jokes and symbolic manipulations you’d expect from Karin Dreijer Andersson AKA Fever Ray: are you entering another world… or being trapped in it?”

“Her solo debut slightly tones down the Knife’s electro innovation but turns up the creepy affect, making lyrically tender tracks like ‘Concrete Walls’ and hallucinatory sketches like ‘When I Grow Up’ into reverse Rorschachs.”

Fever Ray talks about almost everything (in swedish) in Fulradio!

“An evocative and sufficiently creep video for “When I Grow Up” that finds a woman in pretty rough shape contemplating eternity from the end of a diving board. Following on the clip for “If I Had a Heart“, that’s two winners in a row for Fever Ray.”

‘Dark-edged electronic pop is the answer in short. While this won’t come as any surprise to current The Knife devotees, Fever Ray is a more personal, edgier and at times stark listen. Lyrically there is enough detail to snag interest but definitive meanings are always left blurry, vague and ambiguous enough to keep you guessing.’
