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

Finally figured out what "Shiver" reminded me of:

the costuming and vibe is incredible, and definitely not new. i mean ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymCP6zC_qJU (trigger warning: Cronenbergian shit)

The first time I saw Fever Ray live was one of the coolest shows I've ever seen. The last time I saw the Knife was one of my least favorite shows. Was considering seeing Fever Ray this weekend, but I suspect it will be closer to the latter in terms of themes and visuals than the former. Which, granted, was mostly just blurry costumed shapes cloaked in smoke, plus lasers, but it was super effective.

Phew, their set tonight in Oakland was quite incredible. Having not seen Karin Dreijer in any context live before I can't compare, but that was just a stellar presentation and the audience was deeply into it.

I had the same experience a month ago in Amsterdam - wonderful costumes, amazing, sensual, and positive energy, helped by a continuous positive feedback loop between crowd and performers. Saw them in 2009 on the tour supporting the debut, a very memorable gig but far more gloomy and gothy, presentation wise. Though I think one of the standing lamps of that tour was also part of the current decor :-)

Awesome in Pasadena

god, Even It Out fucking rips live. I can't turn the volume up loud enough on the album track to relive it.

Wish I'd seen em, so great live both times on the tours for the prior two albums.

Watching the Glastonbury set, loving this version of 'When I Grow Up'
