One half of The Knife does a solo project. I thought The Knife was ok, but Fever Ray is minus all the sugary synthpop. There is only Karin, her insanity, heavy ambient bass, and the finest prose in all of human history:
i’m very good with plants
when my friends are away
they let me keep the soil moist
on the seventh day i rest
for a minute or two
then back on my feet and call for you
Also consider:
accompany me
by the kitchen sink
we talk about love
we talk about dishwater tablets
and we dream about heaven
One YouTube comment describes it as “morose shit”. I like morose shit…
Fever Ray
