Fever Ray
Fever Ray is the solo project of Karin Dreijer Andersson, who is also one half of the Swedish electro act The Knife.
Fundamentally just a mellow version of The Knife, Andersson has retained their synthy electro vibe and experimental melodies.
With nonsensical lyrics and haunting tunes, Fever Ray's music is dreamlike and ethereal without compromising the integrity of the brash beat.

SINGLES REVIEW
Fever Ray – Triangle Walks
Rabid
A little slow on the off, 'Triangle Walks' is awash with tribal Amazonian back beats and the obligatory Knife handclaps. As the lyrics kick in expect the usual Fever Ray tricks of synthy percussion and sporadic ER theme-esque backing melodies.
Not the best song on the album, but I find myself unable to find fault with the classic structure that she does so well. I particularly enjoyed the enigmatic web of Karin Dreijer Andersson lyrics about bully magpies and hungry Peeping Toms. 3/5

SINGLES OF THE WEEK
Fever Ray – When I Grow Up
Rabid Records
As per, Andersson's lyrics are a tangle of naïve wishes and half baked thought trails. It is the kind of beautiful nonsense you were expected to pick apart at school, even though you knew it was more likely to be the result of an opium trip than a moment of spiritual enlightenment.
But as I have neither the time, nor the will to decipher the deep and meaningful, I simply love the track for what it is: a catchy little piece of ear candy. 3.5/5
