Yeah, Fever Ray is more or less winter music. I hope there'll be a follow-up to the debut some day, I never cared about The Knife (as good as they are) quite as much as I care about FR.

Nice one! My (betterc articulated) thoughts exactly

six months pass...

this part of 'dry and dusty' ftw

Work as I've been told
In return I get money
Small feet in your hall
And I long for every moment

God yes. That's the exact moment that made me fall in love with this album.

That's my favorite song on the album.

New profile pic on FB - is it a sign?

Wouldn't that be something? The show I saw Fever Ray play was one of the best by anyone I have ever seen. (Which is more than I can say for the Knife's last jaunt.)

Josh in Chicago, Monday, 29 June 2015 15:47 (nine years ago) link

Agreed there. The album and the gig I saw were pretty much my favourite musical experiences of the last decade. The Knife is okay, but it never crept under my skin me the way FR did, so I'm hoping the project will be resurrected some day.

one month passes...

What a phenomenal album... It feels like I keep hearing new details every time I rediscover it.

Oh, and she wrote something for this new thing:

Yeah, it still does it for me too. This and Silent Shout are a great pair of records.

two years pass...

Before Pitchfork, even! Don't know if ILX has ever been this early!

Moodles, Monday, 16 October 2017 16:47 (seven years ago) link

is there any news on what this is, or a release date? regardless, upcoming fever ray is exciting

Karl Malone, Monday, 16 October 2017 17:05 (seven years ago) link

Yes!!

My visceral reaction to SAnpaku's post is to go "na-na, na-na"

Marcus Hiles Remains Steadfast About Planting Trees.jpg (DJP), Monday, 16 October 2017 19:41 (seven years ago) link

Why not "GoodGodYa'll!". What is this world coming to.

great news

Week of Wonders (Ross), Tuesday, 17 October 2017 04:23 (seven years ago) link

Fever Ray concert was one of the best and most memorable things I have ever seen.

Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 17 October 2017 11:48 (seven years ago) link

I dimly recall a lot of lazers, fog, and some sort of antlers.

a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Tuesday, 17 October 2017 13:08 (seven years ago) link

"Dimly" is apt. So much fog you literally couldn't see much beyond the lasers and antlers/headdress/masks, peeking out like monsters.

No idk what it all means but I'm stoked for the madness.

Link gives me their album cover and no tracks, do you get something different? Does this come out tomorrow?

Moodles, Thursday, 19 October 2017 23:34 (seven years ago) link

The single is out on streaming services in some timezones but there's a video on youtube:

Idk about this...it sounds closer to The Knife than Fever Ray... which I don’t mind because I like the Knife but wanted to hear her evolve on the more moody, less pop Fever Ray sound.

Love the “death metal” logo tho.

✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 20 October 2017 01:15 (seven years ago) link

fucking amazing

dan selzer, Friday, 20 October 2017 01:41 (seven years ago) link

I'm guessing is not a Savage Garden cover?

daavid, Friday, 20 October 2017 03:34 (seven years ago) link

this is just a mediocre Silent Shout (the song) retread

ufo, Friday, 20 October 2017 04:27 (seven years ago) link

A+ video

Does indeed sound like a cheerful remake of "Silent Shout", but I like it. Have to admit it's a bit of a confusing move to break up The Knife and then make music as Fever Ray that sounds more like The Knife, but I'm pretty much down with whatever she does.

Moodles, Friday, 20 October 2017 04:57 (seven years ago) link

Yeah this is silent shout... the crass lyrics are a bit cringe too. It’s 2017.

✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 20 October 2017 05:59 (seven years ago) link

Hope there’s at least a couple of songs closer to the debut.

✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 20 October 2017 06:00 (seven years ago) link

Dont get me wrong the Silent Shout album is awesome but again this is single is not Fever Ray

✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 20 October 2017 06:08 (seven years ago) link

Kinda wish "To the Moon and Back" did sound more like The Knife. I think Olof contributed more contrapunctal rhythms.

Odd seeing several female musicians doing fetish inspired work this year. Did FKA Twigs start this trend?

prelude to abjection (Sanpaku), Friday, 20 October 2017 13:12 (seven years ago) link

I am on board with this.

Marcus Hiles Remains Steadfast About Planting Trees.jpg (DJP), Friday, 20 October 2017 13:29 (seven years ago) link

I only heard/viewed this once but I'm hearing more s/t than Silent Shout (which may be (one of the reasons) why DJP is on board). Need a couple more listens myself to find out how I feel about this

willem, Friday, 20 October 2017 14:17 (seven years ago) link

I hadn't articulated that to myself but yeah, I am 100% on board with throwing back to my favorite Knife album.

Marcus Hiles Remains Steadfast About Planting Trees.jpg (DJP), Friday, 20 October 2017 14:19 (seven years ago) link

Love this. She is a true original.

kornrulez6969, Friday, 20 October 2017 15:29 (seven years ago) link

didn't make it to the end, wish their music had the imagination of the rest - this is basically the same sounds as music they were making years and years ago.
