Fever Ray (aka Karin Dreijer Andersson of The Knife) will bring her highly anticipated live show to North America this Fall. The tour begins with two performances at NYC’s Webster Hall, a fitting venue for the launch of Andersson’s return to the North American stage. In 2006 Andersson and brother Olof Dreijer – performing together as The Knife – debuted live to U.S. audiences with two sold-out shows at the acclaimed venue. This time, now supported by a four-piece band, Andersson’s Fever Ray persona will be the main attraction.
Swedish multimedia artist Andreas Nilsson – who designed The Knife’s live show and directed the video for her debut single “If I had A Heart”- is also the visual mastermind behind Fever Ray’s live show. In designing the show Nilsson drew from his experience with the album. “The album has a mixture of acoustic and electronic sounds… something hard and visionary combined with something that is more organic. The live show should embrace that feeling,” says Nilsson.
Can’t say that I’m a fan of Webster Hall, but I can definitely see how this performance would become epic in that setting. In other news, buy your plane tickets NOW – The Knife’s long-awaited opera is set to debut in Copenhagen in September. More info and tour dates after the jump.
