I'll shell out again probably, but it does bother me. If only a little.

I knew this would happen, as happened with the Knife albums, so i've waited. Been burned twice before by The Knife. Def. looking forward to this reissue though.

I've been a bit disappointed by the two new videos, at least compared to the videos for "If I Had a Heart" and "When I Grow Up". The first two videos totally got you in the mood by implying there was backstory behind what was happening, and dropping ambiguous hints on that story made them all the more enchanting. But the two new videos, as cool as they look, feel like more traditional music videos, they just show Karin (and the band members) in odd scenery without any attempt to build a story. I have to give props for Karin for the way she looks in the "Seven" video though, that's quite exceptional! Anyway, I thought the new videos would continue on the story that began in the first video, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Maybe it's simply a question of budget, as it looks like the two new videos were made with much less money than "If I Had a Heart". I don't think I'll be buying this double disc version, especially since the original album already included the best one of the videos.

Video for 'Stranger Than Kindness', people who've seen the concerts will be familliar with most of the imagery.

― brotherlovesdub, Thursday, 22 October 2009 21:28 (fourteen years ago) link
Dunno if this announcement is what's above but....
The Guardian has teamed up with Rabid Records and Cooperative Music to give readers a live version of the debut album by Fever Ray. Following an exclusive interview in Friday’s Film and Music section there will be a unique URL printed in Saturday’s Guardian that will allow readers to download the album. The album was recorded in Sweden on 28 March 2009.Tracks included on the download are:

Yes, it's the same thing. Entire show recording is only 20mins but the inbetween bits have been cut. Not sure if that link has all the tracks but it starts and ends with the same songs listed above. Soundboard quality.
― brotherlovesdub, Thursday, 22 October 2009 22:43 (fourteen years ago) link
ok, actually, i'm pretty sure its missing a couple tracks. only has 5 diff. tracks on the mp3 i posted.

Damn, I got the Guardian today but I already own the album in CD form. Anyone want my key?
― Strawberry Letter 22 (Masonic Boom), Saturday, 24 October 2009 11:54 (fourteen years ago) link
what key? you just click "download" and it gives you the zip, right?
― caek, Saturday, 24 October 2009 12:01 (fourteen years ago) link
Oh, I am a stupid. I thought by "unique URL" they actually meant a *unique* URL. Clearly I posted before I had either had my tea or read the thread properly. Consider me reprimanded.
― Strawberry Letter 22 (Masonic Boom), Saturday, 24 October 2009 12:47 (fourteen years ago) link
to be fair, the secret url is pretty clever ; )
― caek, Saturday, 24 October 2009 12:53 (fourteen years ago) link
Thx for the link, Bill A! (brotherlovesdub, be sure to download from that link, it's the complete thing, yours wasn't)
― StanM, Saturday, 24 October 2009 14:10 (fourteen years ago) link
glad to share - it's interesting to hear how Karin approaches the vocals live, when I saw them in July I remember feeling a bit like Whitey upthread ie. some of the high/low contrast is lost.
Not sure if this has been mentioned previously, but there was an interview in the Guardian yesterday in which Karin says she plans to retire the Fever Ray project once their shows this year are done. A real shame imo, this album has been one of my favourites of the year.
― Bill A, Saturday, 24 October 2009 14:26 (fourteen years ago) link
thanks, got it
― brotherlovesdub, Saturday, 24 October 2009 14:39 (fourteen years ago) link
It's sad if there will be no new Fever Ray records, I certainly liked this project more than The Knife, and was expecting for it to continue. (Which isn't so say The Knife is bad or anything, but FR was more my thing.) Hopefully she'll do some other solo projects in the future.

Then again, Dreijer Andersson seems perplexed by a lot of things you might consider straightforward. For years, she was rigorously opposed to the idea of playing live: "It was very provocative for Olaf and me, when everybody was saying, you have to play live or else you're not a band, blah blah blah. You start to think, why is this so important? I think it's very strange that people who are musicians and composers … I don't think it has anything to do with performing."She eventually relented – the Knife played a handful of live shows, albeit concealed behind screens, while Fever Ray have thus far clocked up "about 50 performances" – but still has an idiosyncratic approach to performing, which extends to fantasising about not turning up at all. "I think it's very interesting to play with the idea of au-then-ti-ci-ty," she says, carefully. "With the Knife and Fever Ray, I could send some other people out there instead of me and nobody would see any difference. And that's very funny."

I'm totally with her on that one.
I wanted to send a bunch of other people out to perform in my place in support of mine own upcoming album, ha ha.

that mix of the royksopp single with karin included in the new Aeroplane October promo mix is fantastic.

The only video I haven't liked so far is 'Seven'. Seems to me like it's trying too damn hard to resemble the style of the other videos without really succeeding.

I was really excited with the idea of the RA podcast when it came out 2 weeks ago but listened to it a few hours ago and it put me off after a the 4th or 5th track. I really wish it was less... inconsistent.

Apparently Rough Trade will have an exclusive new remix/mix CD (they're doing a thing where their top 10 albums of the year will be sold with bonus discs of material exclusive to them). Not sure what this could consist of, but exciting nonetheless.

Sounds cool, can't wait to listen to the tune! This seems to prove the Peter Gabriel influence on FR I was suggesting upthread.
