Fever Ray - Concrete Walls

Fever Ray is the solo project of Karin Dreijer Andersson, who is one half of the Swedish electro act The Knife (the other half is her brother Olof Dreijer). Andersson was also the lead singer and guitarist for the defunct indie pop group Honey is Cool. The first, self-titled Fever Ray record was released digitally on January 13, 2009 and its first single If I Had A Heart was released on December 15, 2008.

What would you do if one decade into your career you suddenly saw one of your songs turned into a worldwide hit, won six Grammis in your native Sweden, and your latest release was declared album of the year by one of the worlds most influential music websites? If youre Karin Dreijer Andersson, formerly singer with 90s pop hopes Honey is Cool and now one half of The Knife, the answer is to take a couple of years off and return as a solo artist under a new name: Fever Ray.

In Karins own words, I had so many songs to record that I just had to make an album. I thought I was going to have a longer break but I guess it will never happen. I cant stop working. My aim was to finish the album and now that its done Im a bit restless (good that The Knife has an opera to write then.) During the last years I discovered that I like to sing too, so I hope that my newly found live band will make it to the stages next year. We are rehearsing and building something beautiful and brilliant.

This track is deep. We live in a world of duality and to me, this song represents the darker side of our existence. We are beautiful creators of love, yet we lock ourselves in concrete walls and watchTV just to block out the truth. If we learn to embrace the darker side instead of fearing it, we can move beyond it grasp into a greater reality. Good job on capturing this feeling of being trapped in the darkness of our walls.

@Arachnalicious Your comparison of God to your father, in terms of how atheists are supposed to perceive the reality of the two phenomenons, shows how low your level of logic is. You don't really have it. For God's fucking sake, you don't even understand how to prove a point and what leads to what. Arguing with you would be like arguing with a wall. I'm cool, sir, you can go talk about religion with someone else, I'm not going to participate in this circle jerk, you fucking moron.
