Rarely does a debut album impact an audience so deeply, that less than a year after its release, a 3-disc deluxe bonus package is both begged for and delivered upon. Fever Ray has just that appeal.The hauntingly fragile yet dripping with electronic pop elementally self-titled debut from the Swedish set, as led by The Knife's Karin Dreijer-Andersson, is one that will undoubtedly rise to the top ...
If you love Fever Ray and if you live somewhere you can pick up a copy of the Guardian newspaper, you can get a free live Fever Ray album tomorrow. Request: someone over in England get a line on this and send it in so we can post it! Karin Dreijer Andersson also said that this may be the last thing we hear from Fever Ray, so let’s track it down. On the flipside, does that mean she is going back.
Check out tomorrow's copy of The Guardian, not only are they giving away free coffee now, but also a link to the new Fever Ray live album, possibly the last ever release from Fever Ray. In the interview, Karin Dreijer Andersson talks about how much she dislikes promotion and how this year will be the final curtain call for the side-project.
The new video for the third single, "Seven". And just in case you thought the Fever Ray project was going soft, this one proves that it is still wierd as hell.
Fever Ray have just debuted their eerie video for equally bone-tingling and spine-chilling single, Seven. Note to viewers: if you have any farm animal complexes, beware. Well, it's not too traumatizing, but there is a lot of hay and said swine+.Fever Ray have also just announced the last remaining dates on their finale tour. Yes, FINALE tour. In addition to the US and Scandinavian dates already...

I looked at this album, which is included with the deluxe edition of Fever Ray (out Nov. 24t

It's time to bring back some of the Fucking Best Remixes Ever. Part V of our infinite part series is actually from this year. To be clear, Fever Ray's third single "Triangle Walks" is an amazing song on its own. Naturally, it generated its fair share of remixes, and the work of Rex the Dog rose above the rest. He speeds it up and brings out the synths in a big way. This is no fleeting affair, I...
I've been meaning to do this review for a couple months now. That's how long I've been enjoying Fever Ray. First, some introductions. If you know of the Swedish duo The Knife, made famous by the cover of their "Heartbeats" track by Jose Gonzalez. Fever Ray is the solo project...

Well, tomorrow is Halloween, but today is not only the day that teenagers go out destroying mailboxes... it's a time for musicians to unleash some creepy new music! While there are plenty of Halloween standards out there (check Cody's blog for some of the funkier selections), this year has seen an especially large amount of Halloween-centric music and mixtapes. Here's a quick sampling:Fever R...

Yesterday, the internet was blazing with FEVER RAY fever. Karin Dreijer Andersson's new solo project is a dreamy, drone-y exploration of sound and mood. Yesterday, Karin (aka half of The Knife) released the video for the 1st Fever Ray single, "If I Had A Heart": Today, word is out that the cinematic music on Fever Ray's upcoming LP was, in part, inspired by Jim Jarmusch's movie Dead Man (sta...
