Fever Ray: Fever Ray
Imagine if you crossed Air with Bjork, took away 15% of the fun, and added a splash of something kind of dark. And that's this album.
To me, when it comes to techo sound, Fever Ray along with Black Bile are in a class by themselves. Their charm is that they don’t respect themselves, their music nor their audience. It’s said that they never wash, I don’t know if that’s true or not, but good if it is. They’re beautifully nasty and do lots of shit stuff. When I need a counterweight to all the cheesy iTunes crap I look to schizophrenic mother fuckers like Fever Ray. These guys plus a 26er of Chivas will get me through the worst of days. That’s all I got, done, kaput, färdiga!!!!
@ Lars Don't listen to them--this is the blogosphere. Ignorance of the facts has never stopped me from complaining about feminism, or Glenn from disparaging the literary value of Tolkien or Harry Potter, or Laurie from bitching about relationships, or Viking Andrew from joking about semi-anonymous sexual encounters and blow.
Here at R3 we endorse a robust pluralism. If someone says you're wrong, just tell them they're boring.

Haven't listened to Air in a while. What were we talking about?

Too bad Fever Ray is a solo act (one woman) and not techno.
Oh shit, this is turning out to be one of my bad days then...I just hope that Chivas is real and not another delusion.
@Lars
On R3 it's O.K. to bullshit about wine, but not about song. Even if you're mentally ill.

That is pretty much how we operate around here. It's really quite alright to call me a jerk, too.
@Laurie
Magna res est vocis et silentii temperamentum.
Now that's just not fair.
