#brynsmusicselection time is here yet again 😃
Today I would like to introduce to you all, Fever Ray. Fever Ray is a solo project of Karin Elisabeth Dreijer (born 7 April 1975), Swedish singer-songwriter and record producer. Dreijer was one half of the electronic music duo the Knife, formed with her brother Olof Dreijer. Dreijer released her debut solo album under the alias Fever Ray in January 2009. Her second studio album, Plunge, under the same alias, was released in October 2017.
Dreijer’s vocal style is notable for both shrill and deep tones and also the use of multi-tracked vocals, with different uses of pitch-shifting technology on each track, creating an intricate and mysterious effect. Visually, she employs the use of masks, face and body paint, intricate costumes, and other theatrical elements in photo shoots, videos and live performances, during which she often performs behind a gauze screen that partially obscures the audience’s view.
Did you know that the single “If I had a heart” from her first solo album was used in numerous television series, including Person of Interest, Breaking Bad and Wentworth, as well as the opening theme song for the Canadian-Irish historical drama television series Vikings?
