So euphoric in good headphones. The outro is eargasm. Maybe my song of the year. The album is cover is so eye grabbing. Karen is just on another level and ahead of time.

gplcarlos Posted January 25, 2023 Author Posted January 25, 2023 3 hours ago, Pendulum said: the new tracks is very The Knife 2013 album vibes which I do not like That's exactly what I liked about the song. I love that more "organic" sound they have on "Shaking the Habitual" and I love how they made it even more sensual and queer on "Kandy".
Uncatena Posted January 25, 2023 Posted January 25, 2023 Kandy is giving Deep Cuts meets STH, im living
HausOfGerard Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 Anyone hear anything about when the next single is coming? Loving the music so far
gplcarlos Posted February 21, 2023 Author Posted February 21, 2023 First album reviews: Uncut Magazine - April 2023: 7/10 Quote "Relationships and sexuality are the stuff of Karin Dreijer’s work as Fever Ray, subjects lent extra potency by the dark sensuality of their electronic-pop settings. Her first record in almost five years sees her joined by her brother (and other half of The Knife) Olof Dreijer for several co-writes, alongside guests including the Trent Reznor/Atticus Ross team and UK producer Vessel, who all give some indication of the album’s character. Fever Ray’s records may be less boldly subversive than The Knife’s, but there are plenty of artful thrills and pleasures here, notably power-trance anthem “Carbon Dioxide”, the chilly, Depeche Mode-ish “North” and scuzzy, attitudinal disco banger “Even It Out”." - Sharon O'Connel MOJO Magazine - April 2023: 4/5 Quote "Radical Romantics comes six years after Fever Ray’s Plunge and a decade from Shaking The Habitual by The Knife, the former project of siblings Karin and Olof Dreijer. Temporal gaps aside, this new offering hints at the genre-bending essence of the latter – the electronic patchwork contains fragments of ambient (Bottom Of The Ocean), new wave with a nod to David Sylvian (North) and K-pop (Looking For A Ghost). The similarity is not coincidental – Olof co-produces a few tracks, including the arpeggio-led opener What They Call Us. Although musically it might be a step back, thematically, Radical Romantics can be seen as a mellow follow-up to the angrier, gender-politics-driven Plunge. Instead, it celebrates self-exploration. Wrapped in an eerie cobweb of synths, Shiver finds conflict in attraction: “Some girls will make you blush, some girls will make you shiver.”" - Irina Shtreis
