Fever Ray

About the artist

The solo project of the Knife's Karin Dreijer, Fever Ray shares some of her main group's icy electronic atmospheres, but takes a slightly more organic-sounding approach. Fever Ray began after the Knife finished their promotional duties for their 2006 album Silent Shout and Dreijer had her second child; she worked on demos and song ideas by herself, then collaborated with producer Christoffer Berg, who had mixed the Knife's music. Fever Ray was available in January 2009 as a digital download, and the album was physically released that spring. ~ Heather Phares
