Stockholm, Sweden (2008 – present)

Fever Ray is the solo project of Karin Dreijer Andersson, who is one half of the Swedish electro act The Knife (the other half is her brother Olof Dreijer). Andersson was also the lead singer and guitarist for the defunct indie pop group Honey is Cool.

The first, self-titled Fever Ray record was released digitally on January 13, 2009 and its first single “If I Had A Heart” was released on December 15, 2008.

Born in Gothenburg, Sweden on 7 April 1975, Andersson currently resides in Stockholm, Sweden.

What would you do if one decade into your career you suddenly saw one of your songs turned into a worldwide hit, won six Grammis in your native Sweden and your latest release was declared album of the year by one of the world’s most influential music websites? If you’re Karin Dreijer Andersson, formerly singer with ‘90s pop hopes Honey is Cool and now one half of The Knife, the answer is to take a couple of years off and return as a solo artist under a new name: Fever Ray.

In Karin’s own words, “I had so many songs to record that I just had to make an album. I thought I was going to have a longer break but I guess it will never happen. I can’t stop working. My aim was to finish the album and now that it’s done I’m a bit restless (good that The Knife has an opera to write then.) During the last years I discovered that I like to sing too, so I hope that my newly found live band will make it to the stages next year. We are rehearsing and building something beautiful and brilliant.”

As much as I love Fever Ray, I do think that every single remix which has been made is just awful and totally alters the original songs. And you cannot remix a song like Keep the Streets Empty for Me, fact. [3]

'what are the remixes on rough trade's fever ray (disc 2)?' [2] saw this in rough trade last week, 8 remixes on a bonus disc. i'm guessing it's just a selection of the single release mixes, but does anybody know for certain?
