join me in anticipating musics by FEVER RAY (aka one half of the knife)

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

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

well I like this a lot

shocking, I know

yessssssssss

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

Yes!!

well, did someone dial that number yet?

Unngh!

Nintendo ads are getting weird

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

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

...absolutely nothing?

great news

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

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

"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.

Hooray!

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

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

well that's fucked up

jfc

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.

fucking amazing

I'm guessing is not a Savage Garden cover?

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

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.

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

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

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

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?

I am on board with this.

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

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

Love this. She is a true original.

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.

For record keeping purposes at least, this thread needs her 2014 collab with Shinedoe, "Discourse is My New Romance". I can hear it as a midpoint between the 2009 tracks and the latest ones.

xp me: fetish inspired work smacks head. not Twigs, 50 Shades.

this is my favorite thing right now. not going to complain about anything that sounds like The Knife in full pop mode and it seems like the album is going to be an interesting thematic extension of what Karin was doing on Shaking the Habitual.

i don't understand the appeal of stuff like this - gross lyrics and even more horrible imagery.

This actually feels like pre-Silent Shout Knife to me - like it would be one of the odder tracks on Deep Cuts but it wouldn't be out of place. The airhorn version is actually better but I dunno - I'm usually wrong about Karin projects on the first listen but I put on the S/T and this just sounds so much cheaper in comparison.

That new single is still better than anything on US Top 40.

jed are you my mom?

yes, my son.

honestly don't think fifty shades has much to do with this. difft imagery, difft vibe, v difft implied politics. but i cant really articulate how beyond my vague secondhand sense of what the queer/trans hipster kink goth youth brigades are up to these days. wherein fifty shades is square bdsm for normies and has a bad rep for its sexual politics overall. song is pretty cool! i didn't "get" fever ray when ilx was gonzo for their spooky wookie chanting music a few years back but this more straightforward sound works for me, guess I shd check out the knife maybe?

Spooky wookie chanting music would be adequate for this time of the year

Casino, see the light; go "Deep Cuts", etc

I love the Knife and I love Fever Ray but I’m not feeling this tbh. It’s too pop and too forced... too “look at me” which is not a good look. Saving my opinion until the rest of the album comes out and the single makes more sense in context.
