Fever Ray – Seven (The Twelves Remix), PMA Premiere
Fever Ray’s current single “Seven” is a smooth, filmy track about daydreaming in your youth… about suicide. At least that’s what I got from it. But despite it’s dark undertones, there’s no reason why “Seven” shouldn’t be a jam.
The Twelves and I shared these sentiments and I’m psyched to premiere their Halloween-like disco remix of Fever Ray’s “Seven.” Continue reading →

Röyksopp – Tricky Ricky (ft. Fever Ray) (SALEM Remix)
Quicky: [download id="328"]
SALEM remixed Royksopp’s latest single, “Tricky Tricky” featuring Fever Ray (or Karin Dreijer Andersson) for their remix competition. nightmagnets claims SALEM’s remix was their favorite of the bunch. I am inclined to agree, but the original track is pretty great on its own.

Fever Ray – Here Before (Vashti Bunyan cover)
Karin Andersson and the Subliminal Kid have teamed up to create their own rendition of Vashti Bunyan’s beautiful acoustic song “Here Before”. Upon first listen the cover sounds like a b-side from Animal Collective’s Feels with female vocals. It took me a few spins of this track before I really started to appreciate this song.
The Subliminal Kid’s instrumentation started blending in with Karin’s voice as if she was just another instrument. Her high-pitched delivery stopped throwing the song off for me and started fitting in perfectly. Both this cover and the original, Vashti Bunyan version of “Here Before,” are great songs and worth listening to.

Fever Ray – Seven (Crookers Remix)
Always a fan of Crookers’ remixes, Phra and Bot once again shows us how a painless remix can result in endless fun. This time the duo gave their attention to Fever Ray’s latest track, “Seven” from her self-titled debut album which came out in March.
In this remix, Crookers adds electronic amusement to Fever Ray’s eerie sound. You may better know and recognize Fever Ray as The Knife’s Karin Dreijer Andersson’s solo project.
The album is full of pattering drums, drawn out lyrics and mallet instruments, which makes the Crookers’ remix barrier breaking for the songs original sound. Filled with fun sounds (like the telephone ring) and dynamic beats Crookers did not disappoint.
Crookers recently launched a new website and blog, so check it out for the most recent tracks, videos and some pretty funny photos from the remix kings. Listen to their “Seven” remix here. Continue reading →
