Really? A Tuesday update?!Saw the finale of the Holloys residency last night at The Echo. Before this residency, we hadn't a full set since that Ovrcast night a few years ago when they were just called Holloy. Songs sounded different back then, technically brilliant but more on the avant side of the garde. Songs now are much more accessible and even the most progressive tunes have an undeniable

We've been a little behind on getting something up about the excellent self-titled debut from Fever Ray coming out March 24th via Mute but trust us, it was worth the wait. For the folks that aren't familiar with Fever Ray yet, she/they are Karin Dreijer Andersson, one half of the Swedish duo The Knife . For those not familiar with the Knife (first off, come on people ) BUT, their first two albums did well in their Swedish homeland; their third, Silent Shout, went to Number One, won six Swedish Grammys, and was pronounced [...]
Karin Dreijer Andersson is half of the brother-sister duo better known as The Knife . She has a new project called Fever Ray that will release a self-titled debut on March 24 via Mute .

After the birth of her second child (and eight months of productive daydreaming), Karin had enough material for the production of Fever Ray. She took half of the batch Christoffer [...]

She took half to Christoffer Berg (who mixed The Knife's work) and half to Stockholm production duo Van Rivers & The Subliminal Kid. Fever Ray's 'If I Had A Heart' [...]

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 [...]

Here are a couple of the songs (mp3s [...]
