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.

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

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!!!!

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.

On R3 it's O.K. to bullshit about wine, but not about song. Even if you're mentally ill.

@ 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.

That is pretty much how we operate around here. It's really quite alright to call me a jerk, too.
