While just as beat-based as The Knife's own output, Karin Dreijer Andersson's new Fever Ray project stresses the downtempo tendencies with little to none of the hi-NRG end of the Dreijers' group sound, using the dropped-octave vocal effects brought to the fore for Silent Shout and just as spookily employed here, especially on opener "If I Had A Heart", a lone overtone-laden loop the only backdrop to Dreijer Andersson's split-personality electro-pop psychodrama. A solo debut as adventurous as it is accessible, Fever Ray's mood is captured perfectly by Swedish artist Martin Ander's nick of Charles Burns' shading style for the cover portrait.
