Two years removed from my favorite album of 2006, Karin Dreijer (half of The Knife) has put out a self-titled solo album under the moniker Fever Ray. As excited as I am about hearing new material from her, I can’t say that her first single If I Had a Heart bowled me over. The song certainly creeps along, but the build-up and eventual climax left me a little unfulfilled. The video to the single, however, is AMAZING. It got me thinking that maybe the song fits better as part of a soundtrack to a movie than an LP. Regardless, the Fuck Buttons did a great job remixing the song adding in their patented fuzz and distortion with the throbbing bass line taking the song to new dynamic heights. You can check out both tracks below:
