Details are scant at the moment, but Karin Dreijer Andersson-- onetime Honey Is Cool frontwoman and current female half of Swedish sibling synth-mongers the Knife-- has emerged with a nifty-looking solo project.Fever Ray, as she's calling herself, plans to have an album out in early 2009 on Rabid Records [via PSL]-- which probably goes some to explain why the Knife haven't been up to much of anything in a while. Thus far Dreijer's only sharing one tease of a track, "If I Had a Heart (Instrumental Edit)", which hints at something slightly more organic than the frigid, nocturnal sonic landscapes occupied by Dreijer's other current project. Stream that at Fever Ray's website or MySpace right now, and stay tuned for more info.

I caught the Knife’s Shaking The Habitual live show at Sweden’s Way Out West festival last summer, and I hated it. Everyone I’ve spoken to about the group’s recent live shows either agrees with me or virulently disagrees. Their show is a divisive thing: A massive performance-art spectacle, full of modern-d...
It’s no wonder that it’s taken some time for remixes of the new Knife album to come out, since the best way to describe the response to Shaking The Habitual is with that scene from Scanners when Michael Ironside uses his psychic powers to make that newscaster’s head explode. But now that we’ve had time [...]
