Fever Ray Deluxe

10/22/2009
.
(PR) After an astonishing series of US live dates, Fever Ray (a.k.a. Karin Dreijer-Andersson) announces a deluxe edition of her critically acclaimed debut album (out November 24th, 2009).

"Fever Ray Deluxe" contains the CD album plus two new studio recordings, cover versions of Vashti Bunyan's "Here Before" and Nick Cave and Anita Lane's "Stranger Than Kindness," which Fever Ray also performs during the live set. The second disc "Live in Luela" captures the full Fever Ray live show on CD. The third disc is a DVD featuring all previously released Fever Ray videos and an exclusive video for "Stranger Than Kindness," directed by acclaimed multimedia artist Andreas Nilsson (who also designed Fever Ray and The Knife's live shows)

"Fever Ray is uncut darkness, a combination of silty bass and high, brambly sounds. Andersson sings in an unfiltered voice that favors an avian, hard sound. She also digitally alters the pitch of her voice, making it sound like the voice of male mummy, perhaps singing to himself as he looks through an album of water-damaged photographs," Sasha Frere-Jones, The New Yorker. August Brown of The Los Angeles Times writes of Fever Ray's live show, "[Fever Ray works] at the absolute forefront of sound, stage and the ways the two inform each other...Fever Ray never shies from its more theatrical and modern impulses, the real emotions Andersson's music brings out -- enticement, disquiet and unknowable mystery -- are much older than the stage. "

This "unknowable mystery" is the very essence of Fever Ray. Fever Ray is the title of both the project and album. It is an evocation of the music's sound, intense and anxious, yet luminous. It's the culmination of work that began in 2007 when Karin and Olof, the brother-sister duo who are The Knife, decided to take time out following a handful of incredible live shows. Their first two albums did well in their Swedish homeland; their third, "Silent Shout," went to Number One, won six Swedish Grammys, underlined their reputation as an act capable of the truly extraordinary and was pronounced the Best Record Of 2006 by Pitchfork.

Released in 2009 Fever Ray's self-titled debut has already collected extraordinary praise, with an 8.1 review ranking and best new music distinction from Pitchfork. Nylon calls the album "dark, surreal and majestic" and Filter calls it "sublime and magically creepy" with an 87% review ranking. In addition to Andersson's Fever Ray project, she continues to collaborate with brother Olof as The Knife. Their most recent work, an opera based on the life of Charles Darwin called "Tomorrow In A Year" premiered in Copenhagen September 2009 (additional info here: www.hotelproforma.dk). The studio album "Tomorrow, In A Year" by The Knife in collaboration with Mt. Sims and Planningtorock is set for release in 2010.

The Deluxe packaging - and all other Fever Ray packaging - is designed by acclaimed artist Martin Ander.
