360 Staff Pick: Fever Ray

Studio 360

First there was the Knife, the Swedish Electronic duoof brother and sister Karin and Anders Dreijer.Now there’s Fever Ray. Last year sister Karin went her own way (as she’s been known to do)and formed a new band. Fever Ray’s self-titled album isfull of dark Scandinavianincantations and itis spectacular. Karin’s haunting voice on’Keep the Streets Empty for Me’ is best enjoyed driving through Copenhagen suburbs on a summer night, whereas’I’m Not Done’ sounds really good in a crowded New York subway. In concert, she wears enormous feathered bird costumes in one strangest and most original stage shows around.
