Fever Ray
I’m really, really feeling Karen Dreijer Andersson’s solo project, Fever Ray. Her singularly elastic vocals take on different textures and tones than have come through in her work with the Knife, and the while the music has just as much darkly ticklish movement as some Knife tracks, it’s far less given over to techno—both in terms of rhythm and production. The gorgeous video work for the first two singles (“If I Had a Heart,” posted below, and “When I grow up”) is mesmerizing—as convincingly sinister and psychedelic as the music.

Two really nice remixes of “If I Had a Heart” have also emerged in the last month, both of which I recommend giving a listen:
One is by Swedish producer Familjen. The other, dancier remix is by Fuck Buttons.
