Fever Ray - Now's the Only Time I Know

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.

Here is the song " Now's the Only Time i Know "

@SkurBeats Yes someone finally said what needs to be said! Whats the point in trying to win an argument on here. Totally pointless yet millions of people try! Faceless pointless arguments. Just listen to the music.

Gorgeous music.. I love her :)

[SuperDoeja]

Captures the times so completely relevantly, there's an imminence in Andersson's perspective that I haven't experienced in such a long, long time. I believe we'll be seeing much more from this beautiful musician in the near future for quite some time. Absolute brilliance.
