Culture Clash on Radio 1190 Rockin' Your World!

We just got the self-titled debut from Fever Ray. Fever Ray is the solo project from Karin Dreijer Andersson, one half of the sibling Swedish electro-gods, The Knife. The Knife took a break after 2006’s Silent Shout, so Karin had a second child and “eight months of the most productive daydreaming” to come up with the gem. It’s fundamentally similar to The Knife’s dark electronic sound, yet distinctly intense and anxious, with songs like “When I Grow Up” and “I’m Not Done”. If feels like you’re wading through a dim musical mist. Her voice is unmistakable and haunting. If you are ever visited by a Swedish ghost in the dead of night, it will sound like this. Don’t listen to this alone in a dark room unless you prepare yourself. The album was released on Rabid Records in Sweden, which she co-owns with her brother. Out on Mute Records in the U.S. It hits stores March 24th, although online downloads are available now.

This is the 2nd single, "When I Grow Up". Make sure to tune in tomorrow for a fresh cut off the album.
