Fever Ray
Fever Ray Fever Ray [3.5/5]
Like the hot girl in class who dresses in baggy clothes and chopped hair, Karin Dreijer Andersson pitch-shifts and distorts her vocal gifts for atmospheric dissonance, like an Auto-Tune set on "bad dream." Fever Ray doesn’t stray too far from her main gig as one half of the Knife-in […]
