Karin Dreijer Andersson of the Knife goes solo, and the result is nothing short of fabulous.  Press play, and a deep, emotional, sound swirls around you creating the feeling of dancing through a misty, magical forest.  The hopeful and catchy beats float from the speakers while  traditional instruments (steel drums and congas) spin the modern electronics towards a grounded musical experience.   The image provoking lyrics, sometimes more like  chants,  reminisce childhood.   The ghostly voices bounce between tracks, some high, some low, some sweet, and some scary.

Check out this spooky video of their song “If I Had A Heart”

This album is a daydream, opening a mind filled with stories told through synth-pop sound.  Though the tracks stand beautifully alone, it should be listened to in it’s entirety.  Fever Ray is a wonderfully haunting masterpiece that brings you on a journey, solid from start to finish, and leaves you wanting more.  I’ve got a fever…ray…!
