Five years after Plunge, Karin Dreijer dug up Fever Ray to release the single “What They Call Us.” Today, Dreijer actually announced that a new album is on the way. Crafted in collaboration with their brother and fellow former The Knife partner Olof Dreijer, Radical Romantics will also feature contributions from Nine Inch Nails‘ Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross amongst others.

Fever Ray also shared a new single, “Carbon Dioxide,” co-produced by Vessel, as well as an accompanying visualizer. Watch the visuals and pre-order the album via Bandcamp below.

After a long series of teasers on social media, The Knife‘s Karin Dreijer makes their return as Fever Ray with “What They Call Us.” Written and co-produced alongside Olof Dreijer, the consuming track also comes with a video, directed by Martin Falck. It follows Dreijer in a boring office that progressively turns into a surreal and quite dark farewell party. One can read an ambiguous “it’s your last day” on a wall. Watch below.

Sizzling new talent just sprouted like an Icelandic geyser into this new Deer Du Bois playlist.

An effervescent, naturally carbonating and sparkling taste we sense when we listen to Canadian electronic wizzkid Unbloom ft. Layla Mora on “They“. Synthetic flavors or herbal hallucinogenics with “Edge of The Coin” by Fauna Twin? We crave them all, blended into this bustling track.

Take a chill-pill with The-Other-Lana-without-the-Drama aka Eloïse on her slow-burner “Studio 54“. A perky debut for this 17-year-old Londonienne! Hazy or half-awake the day after we still walk “The Darkness” thanks to Cadence Kid. But sooner or later life flows back into your limbs and veins thanks to the harmonic pulses of newcomer Maris on “How’s Things?” You’ll be revived in no time. And if it’s “Too Late”, then listen to The Homie…

[su_dropcap style=”simple”]V[/su_dropcap]ök is definitely one of the best indietronica and dream pop band of Iceland right now. We discovered them with “Waterfall” and since then, we fell into their musical universe which can vary between The xx or The Knife. The trio just shared “Waiting”, a new pop single that smells like geysers, fjords and northern lights.

The band is currently on tour in Europe and in the UK and they will be playing in Brussels in March at the Beursschouwburg. Don’t miss them.
