Jan 05, 2018

It would be inaccurate to say a lot of us started 2017 with optimism overflowing, but there was a certain relief at having put 2016 to bed. While the misery of a Trump White House still lay ahead, some comfort came from sweeping away the detritus of that car crash of an election. More

Under the Radar’s Top 100 Albums of 2017

Another Dark Year Was Brightened By a Plethora of Fantastic Albums

Dec 30, 2017

2016 was regarded as a fairly rough year by many, but 2017 was no walk in the park either. 2016 was mired by the deaths of several beloved musical icons (David Bowie, Prince, Leonard Cohen, George Michael, and Sharon Jones among them) and the disappointing and divisive Presidential election, but in 2017 we had to deal with the ramifications of said election (we’d say that roughly 95% of the musicians we interview likely don’t support many, if any, of President Trump’s policies).

Aug 26, 2009

Fever Ray‘s self-titled debut has been out since March but it will continue leaving us creepy monochromatic presents well into fall.

(No word yet from Fever Ray’s publicist on a U.S. release date.) Also, Fever Ray is getting one of those insta-reissues that everyone is clamoring for this year. More

Last weekend, Just Like Heaven Festival went down Brookside at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena CA. We sent photographer Laura Studarus in to cover the action. She brought back postcards from The Hives, Strfkr, Peaches, Fever Ray, Future Islands, MGMT, Empire of the Sun, and Yeah Yeah Yeah. Check out her shots below. More

Having now released only three full-length records in 14 years, Karin Dreijer’s solo project Fever Ray is establishing a trend of years-long stretches between albums. But as with 2017’s Plunge and 2009’s self-titled debut, Radical Romantics proves worth the wait. More

Aug 15, 2019

From the moment the metronomic “An Itch” opens the set of Fever Ray’s latest release, Live at Troxy, the crowd responds in recognition to a favorite from Karin Dreijer’s most recent studio album, Plunge. More

Nov 16, 2017

Eight years is a long time to wait between albums, but in the case of Karin Dreijer’s solo project, Fever Ray, it was worth the wait. Half of successful duo The Knife, with brother Olof, and rooted in the same experimental electro pop, Ms. Dreijer’s Fever Ray branches out and explores the darker side of glossy and rhythmic electronic music. Those who liked 2009’s self-titled debut will love Plunge. More

Coachella 2010 began under the cloud of an erupting volcano. Several of the European artists playing this year had to cancel their Coachella appearances due to the Icelandic volcano eruption grounding all flights from the U.K. and other parts of Europe. So day one of Coachella was greeted with the news that we wouldn’t be seeing Frightened Rabbit, Delphic, The Cribs (with Johnny Marr), or Gary Numan after all. And only a few days earlier Mew had already cancelled due to illness. So this year’s festival was already starting with some losses, Mew and Delphic probably being the most unfortunate ones. But while there were few artists playing Coachella 2010 who I both hadn’t seen before and was dying to see (Pavement being one of them), the lineup was still rigged with enough great artists so that I had little time to eat and take breaks between bands. Here’s what I saw during day one. More

Confession: despite my various musical exploits, this is my first year at Coachella. And in spite of various friends’ threats to paint a “V” on my forehead and subject me to an unspeakable hazing process (that’s standard…right?), I spent the week leading up to the festivities feeling not unlike an over-sugared toddler on Christmas Eve. Day one’s notable loot: Sleigh Bells, Yeasayer, Passion Pit, Grizzly Bear, and Fever Ray. More

Oct 20, 2009

Some people go to horror movies. Me? I much prefer the ghostly music of Fever Ray (aka Karin Dreijer Andersson). Although, I’d be lying if I didn’t admit by the time the curtain rose on the sold-out show, my heart wasn’t pounding as hard as any virginal teen being chased by a chain-saw-wielding maniac. Having already passed into electro-Goth infamy with her band The Knife’s artfully executed stage show, I suspect that might have been just the response Andersson was going for. More
