  • Sovnger - Blake, What I like

    Forgettable, loud and obnoxious techno noise but with a cool and crazy video shot in the subway system of Paris, France. Featuring a fast moving and insanely fun relay race, the camera has such an incredibly fast framerate that the fluorescent lights can be seen to be flickering, which would otherwise be imperceptible to the naked eye because of their incredibly high frequency. Ridiculously Awesom... Read More

fever-ray-if-i-had-a-heart-1One thing’s for sure - in a country with such an amazing wealth of leftfield talent, Karin Dreijer Andersson sounds like no one but herself. Constantly inventive, restlessly emotive, Fever Ray swaggers, broods, intrigues and dazzles without ever making concessions to the soap opera demands of modern media. "I think the music should be able to stand for itself without interfering, like what the artist looks like. That’s something you find out during the process, it’s a steady ongoing process about how you survive. When you work with music, you have the possibility to create magic."

Fever Ray - Tracklisting Index

fever-ray-if-i-had-a-heart-2Fever Ray is constructed on electronic foundations and embellished with traditional instrumentation (guitar here, congas there), but is starker, moodier, in places quite sombre - less an invasion, more a slow process of colonisation.
