On Fever Ray’s Radical Romantics, don’t expect any “Oh, I love this person, they are amazing, blah blah blah” type of music.
, Karin Dreijer was over romance. It was the late aughts, and when Dreijer wasn’t working on their boundary-pushing electropop duo the Knife, they were raising two children in a heterosexual marriage. Their discomfort within those confines came through in the music, like in “Seven,” in which Dreijer sings about love in the same breath as “dishwasher tablets.” When they returned eight years later with 2017’s, they’d made a 180-degree change.
One constant in their work as Fever Ray: Dreijer collaborated on the visual direction for the album with creative director Martin Falck, developing characters such as Main, a dissatisfied office worker in the “What They Call Us” music video, and Romance, who performs in the “Kandy” video. But discussing the album over video with an out-of-character Dreijer, it’s clear that, behind the makeup and performance, Fever Ray remains a personal project for them.
The idea comes much later. I hadn’t decided to make an album. I just started to see what things I enjoyed and what would be fun to do. I actually started thinking, I will just edit some tracks that I’ve made for theater and other film projects before that I haven’t really finished as tracksBut a few of those ended up on the album, like “Bottom of the Ocean.”Long Way BackRadical RomanticsI have a lot of themes in my head that work around the ocean in some way. I live in Stockholm, I’m brought up in Gothenburg, so I’ve always lived close to the sea, and it has been a big part of me growing up as well.
