New Fever Ray
Mercy Street- September 6th
One half of the Knife and now VERY credible solo artist, Karin Dreijer Andersson aka Fever Ray is back with new single 'Mercy Street'.
A cover of the Peter Gabriel song, Karin describes 'Mercy Street' as "an interpretation. We made it more intense and faster to fit our eccentric percussionists and energetic live musicians. It is a monotone track but we worked with the dynamics trying to make it sparkle. I listened to it a lot when I was around 15, and it still moves me. It made me start reading Anne Sexton too."
For those of you yet to catch Fever Ray on tour, get yourself to one of these dates quick, as it will be the last time Karin will be performing material from the debut album.
September:
5th - Electric Picnic, Dublin, Ireland
6th - O2 ABC, Glasgow
8th - Brixton Academy, London
9th - Olympia, Paris, France
10th - Berlin Festival, Berlin, Germany
12th - Bestival, Isle of Wight
'Mercy Street' is out on September 6th on Rabid Records.
