Fever Ray (The Knife)

[michaelhird]

Fever Ray is now £12.99 on RoughTrade for anyone who hasn't got it. That's the cheapest I've seen it.

Looks like they're starting to tease "Kandy."

Carbon Dioxide is probably in my top 5 Fever Ray and maybe even top 5 Knife tracks which is a very competitive place to be. A true 11/10.

First hint at lyrics for "Kandy" in the caption, maybe?

Ohhh, I like the sound of that!

 

[DirtyPornStar]

That instrumental reminds me of both Pass This On and Heartbeats.

We’re bopping this era, little knives!!!

[DirtyPornStar]

Oh my. This is FANTASTIC.

I know it’s Fever Ray and everything but it all feels very The Knife. Especially since Olof collaborated. I guess their last album felt very much the same way and the place they were in during the first album is very separated from the now. I still love it so much as I love both iterations! This isn’t a complaint

 

[Pink Frost]

The synths on these new tracks really take me back to Silent Shout.

 

[YourLeadSinger]

I hear some slight elements of the OG Fever Ray era (the one I truly loved) but I then realize that presented this way reminds me more of Shaking the Habitual era of The Knife, specifically the Shaken-Up Version of “Ready to Lose”.

Just bring back The Knife at this point.

Video for "Kandy" out now:

Olof continues to get hotter with age.

This song is so hypnotic and oddly subdued in an interesting way. It's really bringing back to when I first discovered The Knife.
I love that it really leans into referencing one of their most mainstream tracks (Pass This On) after what feels like...ages where the very notion would turn heads, the whole package here is a big win for me.

And my god...Olof.

 

[Humanracin]

Yeah this album is going to be amazing.
Kandy is like watching a cobra, hypnotic and kind of menacing but also calming.

 

[Vitamin]

Olof being literally kandy in this video. He’s so fine.

Fire song, this is shaping up to be a great album. They deserve everything.

 

[ManilaChinchilla]

Kandy kind of slaps. It pairs well with their Mercy Street cover.

 

[digitalkaiser]

Honestly? I know it's just now Feb, but Kandy is my SOTY so far. A shoot.
