Fever Ray, the experimental synthpop moniker of Karin Dreijer, has released their first new album in five-plus years – ‘Radical Romantics’. Devastating, tender and peaceful, the album features collaborations with Nine Inch Nails members Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, who co-produced and performed on the songs ‘Even It Out’ and ‘North’.
‘Radical Romantics’ first started in the autumn of 2019; with Fever Ray working in the Stockholm studios built with brother and fellow The Knife member Olof Dreijer, who accompanied them in mid-2020 to co-produce and co-write album opener ‘What They Call Us’. These tracks are the first time the siblings have produced and written music together in eight years.
Other co-producers and performers include Portuguese DJ and producer Nídia, Johannes Berglund, Peder Mannerfelt, experimental artist Vessel, and long-time collaborator Martin Falck, who joins Dreijer in creating the all encompassing visual world of ‘Radical Romantics’.
