“This booming raindance exclusive comes courtesy of J-Wow of Buraka Som Sistema and transforms Fever Ray‘s original occult appeal into a ghetto-tech electro ballad fit for for the stickiest of floors.”
Fever Ray makes The Sunday Times top 100 albums of 2009 at number 3 in the new artists section:
“The Knife’s Karin Dreijer Andersson responded to motherhood with an album of glacial sonic architecture, its unforgiving expanses conjuring up sleep-deprived mental churning. An electro classic.”
See the full list here.
Fever Ray has come in as Last.fm’s 34th most Scrobbled artist of 2009 with 4,007,356 plays from 803,456 listeners:

“We compiled the list by looking at scrobbles for albums released between 1st October 2008 and 16th November 2009. We took out live albums, greatest hits collections, EP’s and singles before pulling them together into the lean, mean format you see before your eyes.”
Fever Ray is nominated in three categories by Swedish public service radio: Pop, Dance and Rookie!

“Fever Ray and the song Keep the Streets Empty struck us immediately with it’s fateful sound and images of abandoned suburbia begun to grow in front of our eyes. We wanted to continue the journey that started in the former videos and our ambition was to catch the feeling in a very direct and true way and create a video where dream and reality intertwine.”
