FEVER RAY Fever Ray (2009 UK 10-track CD album - Fever Ray [aka Karin Dreijer Andersson - The Knife] presents her debut self-titled album. It's the culmination of work that began in 2007 when Karin and Olof, the brother-sister duo who are The Knife, decided to take time out following a handful of incredible live shows. After having her second child and eight months of the most productive daydreaming later, Karin had a batch of new songs and the raw materials for the production of Fever Ray. Unsure how to get them over the finishing line, she took half to Christoffer Berg [who mixed The Knife's work] and the other half to Stockholm production duo Van Rivers & The Subliminal Kid for a final brush and tickle. The result is an album that, while recognisably the work of the same artist, is dramatically different from The Knife. It's still constructed on electronic foundations and embellished with traditional instrumentation [guitar here, congas here]. Constantly inventive, restlessly emotive, Fever Ray swaggers, broods, intrigues and dazzles without ever making concessions to the soap opera demands of modern media. Fever Ray works its magic. Here's your chance to fall under its spell.).
