It has happened again. Bang! Stopped in my tracks because of a song. A haunting song. A sinister, creepy, spooky song that would have been more appropriate if I had wrote about it earlier in the week. It would have been more appropriate to have written about it over three years ago when it first released. But I have found it now and I am hooked thanks the globally renowned television series 'Breaking Bad' . [...]

Los músicos suelen ser personas demasiado inquietas como para conformarse con un solo proyecto entre las manos. Muchas veces nos sorprenden porque descubrimos nuevas facetas que antes no imaginábamos. Andy Burrows es un buen ejemplo. Seguramente todos le conocíamos como el baterista de Razorlight y también de We Are Scientists . Sin embargo, este artista inglés comenzó una trayectoria en solitario allá por el año 2008 con una banda llamada I Am Arrows en la que atreverse con el micro y una guitarra. A juzgar de la continuidad del proyecto, parece [...]
Fever Ray, the Karin Dreijer-Andersson side project to the Swede's more well known (at this point at least) other entity, The Knife, inhabits an interestingly sparse dark corridor of visual representation, both literally and figuratively. There's a sedimentary smoky, bleak...

Haunting single from the debut solo album from Karin of The Knife... Fever Ray - If I Had A Heart (instrumental) Buy the LP here

Karin Dreijer Andersson have always been making mesmerizing music, whether in the band Honey Is Cool previously, or part of The Knife with her brother. While The Knife is on a hiatus, she decides to go totally solo under the project name Fever Ray , and mesmerizing as an adjective just doesn't cut it anymore. If you were even the slightest bit an electronic fan, Silent Shout by The Knife was pulsating and breathtaking. Now in our opinion, [...]

Aside from the fact that she took the time to speak with us about both The Knife and her current persona Fever Ray , Karin Dreijer Andersson's recent solo endeavor is one of our favorite albums of 2009. So hot on the heels of it's release last week, we are offering up this Fever Ray prize pack to one lucky person. [ Fever Ray CD] [...]
Encontrarse con el disco homónimo de Fever Ray (Karin Dreijer Andersson, también en The Knife) da algo de miedo: desde esa portada inquietante (con un arte que recuerda a los dibujos de Charles Burns) hasta el tema que cierra el disco, todo está envuelto en un halo de oscura belleza. Inicialmente uno podría pensar que está frente a otro disco de The Knife - el uso de las voces distorsionadas o

MMM I had somewhat high hopes for Fever Ray 's (aka half of the Knife, Karin Dreijer Andersson) self titled debut album. This LP just ended up being a much muuuuuuuuch poorer version of the Knife's Silent Shout and is quite different from Deep Cuts . Despite it being Karin's solo album, Olof Dreijer (her brother and the other half of the Knife) makes many appearances on this album so it sounds a lot like the Knife except the sound is no where as unique. I feel like it's just one large extension of "Marble House". [...]
The Knife's Karin Dreijer returns with a new video from her solo project Fever Ray . We've previously shared her If I Had A Heart video . This time it's the more Knife-like track When I Grow Up . The video was directed by Martin de Thurah. Mute will release Dreijer's debut album physically on March 24th, 2009. ------------------------------ -------------------------- Official Site | MySpace [...]

Here are some cool remixes you may or may not have seen lately. My guess is you've seen at least one of these, if not more. But if you're the coolest kid on the block than maybe you've heard all of them. Like me. Except my block is better and cooler, so I'm automatically more awesome than you. Fever Ray - If I Had A Heart (Fuck Buttons Remix) [...]
It's been a while since The Knife put out the stunning Silent Shout , so when I heard that Karen Dreijer had a new project, Fever Ray , I was amped. They just released a video for the lead single off their upcoming album due out on March 24th on Mute . The track is called "If I Had A Heart" and you guessed it, it kinda sounds like The Knife, except a tad darker and possibly a bit stranger. The video is dark and spooky as well with Dreijer dressed up and painted (not a shock). [...]

Acum un an şi ceva vă povesteam puţin de trupa ce-mi bântuia playlistu, The Knife . Aşa că acum simt musai nevoia să vă anunţ că jumătatea feminină a duo-ului, Karin Dreijer Andersson , a anunţat de ceva vreme că nu poate sta departe de muzică. Astfel a luat naştere noul ei proiect (solo), Fever Ray , cu care debutează (oficial pe 29 martie) anul ăsta. The mighty world wide web însă mi l-o oferit azi, aşa că în nesimţita-mi curiozitate m-am pus să-l ascult. Mai dark decât unele [...]
The official music video for Fever Ray's "If I Had a Heart" directed by Andreas Nilsson.

The Knife are definitely one of the more important and interesting bands of this decade. I reckon that people have an idea of this rather than knowing it outright. I read a review of Silent Shout in some paper/magazine of importance (please let me know in comments if you remember where) that gave that album a score of one out of ten, before saying it was probably the most pretentious and offensive shit the reviewer had ever heard. I think I remember an album or single by that collective excretion of Scot-flavoured Libertines effluent known as the Fratellis scoring quite [...]
This single, which is to be released as it own 7" is also the first song from the Self Titled release from Fever Ray, and was directed by Andreas Nilsson ( http://www.nixonnoxin.com).
La canzone ve la facemmo ascoltare qualche settimana fa e ora ecco anche il video. Che dire? Già il brano era abbastanza inquietante, ora il video non fa che aumentare la sensazione. La direzione del video è affidata a Andreas Nilsson che riesce a rendere fede alle atmosfere di If I Had a Heart . Oltre questo singolo uscito in versione digitale e 7" si sa ancora poco di Karin Dreijer e del suo progetto Fever Ray . Quindi se il progetto della metà femminile dei The Knife vi piace, non [...]
Hace algunas semanas les contábamos algunos detalles del proyecto solista y disco de Karin Dreijer Andersson de The Knife , quien bajo el nombre de Fever Ray lanzará un álbum el próximo 23 de marzo. El primer sencillo de la producción es el tema "If I Had a Heart" , del que ya tenemos un vídeo promocional dirigido por Andreas Nilsson. Con una fotografía realmente hermosa y una temática tan tétrica como el tema en si, este vídeo es un excelente complemento para la canción. ¿A ustedes qué les parece? [...]
