So here is Karin Dreijer, with The Knife on hiatus and her first solo album as Fever Ray just released digitally through Rabid (physical release in end march).
Quite frankly i was not too impressed with first single "If i had a heart", although it has an amazing video and great lyrics, so when i heard the whole effort i was positively surprised.
It has a good portion of the sound from The Knifes later work; very dark, dreamy and intimidating, but Karin expands and showcases further nuances of her powerful voice and paints surrealistic visions with the lyrics that goes very well with the haunted, echo-y synthscapes.
For your enjoyment, i picked one of the most up-tempo songs of the album, but i think it sums up the Fever Ray thing quite well.
