Fever Ray with Nosaj Thing and Vuk October 7, 2009

A decade into her career, Karin Dreijer Andersson – former singer of 90’s pop group Honey Is Cool and one-half of The Knife – needed to take some time off. She now returns as the solo artist Fever Ray.

Fever Ray is the title, of both project and album, an evocation of the music’s sound, intense and anxious, yet luminous. 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. Their first two albums did well in their Swedish homeland; their third, Silent Shout, went to Number One, won six Swedish Grammys, underlined their reputation as an act capable of the truly extraordinary and was pronounced the best record of 2006 by Pitchfork. Karin needed a break – she was about to have her second child – but couldn’t stop writing.
