The solo project of The Knife’s Karin Dreijer, Fever Ray shares some of their main group’s icy electronic atmospherics, but takes a slightly more organic sounding approach. Fever Ray began after the Knife finished promotional duties for their 2006 album Silent Shout and Dreijer had their second child. They worked on demos and song ideas by themself, then collaborated with producer Cristoffer Berg, who had previously mixed the Knife’s music. Word of the project surfaced during the summer of 2008 and an instrumental version of If I Had a Heart appeared on Fever Ray’s MySpace page that fall.
