Fever Ray

Add Date: March 17

Artist: Fever Ray

Album: Fever Ray

Label: Mute

Genre: Pop, electronic

Comments: Fever Ray, aka Karin Dreijer Andersons, aka one half of (brother and sister duo!?) The Knife presents this, her self-titled debut. Though the music is certainly recognizable as a derivitave of The Knife (electronic base with some guitar and congas on top), Fever Ray "is starker, moodier, in places quite somber. ... Constantly inventive, restlessly emotive, [she] swaggers, broods, intrigues and dazzles without ever making concessions."

The best album I listened to this week-- I know Fever Ray will definitely be in my rotation. Listen to "Triangle Walks" or "If I Had a Heart."
