Stranger Than Kindness - Fever Ray [Album Version]

[Splasha1]

My orthodontist would have a party with those teeth.

[4sepia]

απλα τελειο.

[rooshko]

the master of sublime she is <3 my god..

[OldPazuzu]

must get me some of that teeth whitener

[Nagneto]

Nick Cave cover. Nice.

[ishouldplayzelda]

i looove that facepaint job. i wish i could do it as well as she had it done :/ i want to do the fever ray skull paint for halloween this year

[JoseMB13]

Beautiful song :)

[kalexi83]

shes such a beautiful woman!! gotta love her! she adds such a dark sensuality to her music. and its pointless trying to compare nick cave to this, just accept it for what it is, a beautifully done cover!

[SolumDementia]

People say there's no difference between The Knife and Fever Ray, but there indeed is. Karin's music is alot darker because it's alot more personal than anything she did with her brother. I'm putting all of her songs on a CD, probably going to play it in the car on the way to the store, and my mother's gonna be like, "What the Hell is this?" That's brilliance mom, that's brilliance.

[thorazine666]

@SolumDementia WELL SAID!I AGREE KARINS MUSIC WITH THE FEVER RAY PROJECT IS WAY DARKER AND OMINOUS THEN HER WORK WITH HER BROTHER IN THE KNIFE!AMAZING ARTIST!

[SolumDementia]

@thorazine666

*tips hat* thankyou. She really is.

DEAD MEAT SKULL RINGS VOODOO DOLLS.

[Flippaarn]

still like Cave´s version better, but this was a good try!

[iloveanalcreampies]

Why do people have to make it into some sort of lame competition? This is nothing more than a really good artist tipping her hat to another really good artist.

[blade004]

@rexfrancis79 I don't think it was an attempt to make it better, it was simply a homage and alternate way of making is sound which was pulled off to great effect. I doubt very much that if questioned that Karin would claim it as being superior to the original because that would never have been the intent.

[tummilytumtum]

@blade004 Well said.

[musicgladiator]

@blade004 Well said. I've never even heard the Nick Cave version and I loved this one. If anything, it just made want to hear the original...this has a dark/haunting texture to it that I really enjoy!

[MegaP1972]

rmeh- doesn't come close to Nick Cave. Sounds like something I'd hear and ignore at some goth club.

[jaredquince4life]

@MegaP1972 Cool story bro

[xXJillyBeanXx]

@rexfrancis79 I actually prefer tis version. Just throwing that out there

[Leoheart4eva]

this is actually quite scary when you first hear it

[MightySaturn5]

Yes, I did in fact see that particular episode and yes -I do agree that her look is much like the look achieved by that disburbing 1930's drama episode where there was a large gorilla who eventually ended up firing a fully loaded machine gun at the same thugs he took the gun from and was owned by a demented doctor that was trying to put a human brain into a gorilla, it all woked out well when the Gorilla befriended Moe, Curly & Larry and even made sure Moe stopped bitch slapping Curly

[ApplesiPhone4]

Love You FUCKING LOVE YOU

[HelloImHenriette]

I'm impressed! I haven't heard a lot of good nick cave covers before but this is quite brilliant.

[Maegrol]

One thing - or maybe THE one thing i like about fever ray is the way her songs make me feel! I love how every song's got its very unique athmosphere, just great. swedish people and music... it's a thing...

[julesickdrums]

this track is mermerizing, when i heard the rest of the album...i was very dissapointed :'

[chilihans]

@julesickdrums How can you be that? This track is one of the "worst" tracks on the album! :)

[julesickdrums]

@chilihans you're that, the "album" it's just an exercise of claustrophobic ventilation sung by a spoiled aboriginal child. I thought if this was a cover the rest would be fantastic, but primeval vocalizations w/minimalistic bases? i don't get how could that be qualified as dark and revolutionary. To me is stepping back instead of going forward. But again, that's just me.

[reegstasaurus]

@julesickdrums stepping back in what respect..what artists now would you consider are breaking new grounds? (not trying to seem rude, i'm honestly very curious)

[reegstasaurus]

@chilihans yeah i agree its not one of her best

[blade004]

@chilihans You really think so? I think it's absolutely fantastic!!

[thegrinningman13]

Music is pretty good but she totally ripped the face paint off from the vocalist of God in a Machine.

[JetJockey87]

@thegrinningman13

And they ripped it off Aboriginal Australians... They have had this design down pat for the past 60,000 years....

[Utanmyra777]

@JetJockey87

And you are 3 years old?

[JetJockey87]

@Utanmyra777

Obviously not, I am aware how and when it is appropriate to use contractions in a sentence and you do not.

It clearly says 87 in my username headfuck.

[cybermelk]

@thegrinningman13 lol what? ripped off? its like saying women today ripped off using eye-liner. i dont think she intends to say the face paint is her idea anyway

[TheOthli]

At first i tought WTF are you serious?! Get a life. but that was only when my Mum said what the hell is that for music !

[zombyman2010]

nao tenham medo q o papao nao vai comer!!!

[tejski1985]

omg!this is something magical!!!

[besweet100]

It's perfect, i love  this song :)

[IzzyPanzer]

If Borg of Star Trek would do his thing on music, this is how it would sound like. Nevertheless excelent cover in different, original and bold manner. I'm sure Nick and the Bad Seeds are glad.

[LOLDISNEYLAND]

Nick Cave is awesome. Fever Ray is awesome. Just like a double rainbow, this song is double awesome!

[robertcote1]

anyone else think of hidan from naruto based on this pic?

[prosperitydumpling]

I love and wish to meet her, makes me realize I need to find a gf who paints her entire face! Def one of the most unique albums of the year along with Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion and NightShining - Dark Age

[juliajjjjj]

yeahh!!

[wyndx]

Awesome cover which respects the mood of the original song and brings it to whole new level.

[KennethCockwhore]

[atoquinto]

[Kvantti]

[scottjhnsn]

[KennethCockwhore]

it will be release´on the delux fever ray album which out in oct together with all her videos plus "here before"

[scottjhnsn]

yeah silly me,i discovered that after i posted this. but is it being released as such in the u.s. or as import? because all i saw was a UK release.

[cacarotote]

[zuarj201]

Amazing. Do you have an mp3 of this? My record player doesn't have a line-out, so I can't rip it to mp3 from vinyl :(.

You should see this live!

[DrGeee]

Many thanks! I will be seeing her Friday night in Toronto and it is great to get to know this song before I go.
