Fever Ray – the solo project of The Knife's Karin Dreijer – will be releasing a new album, The Year Of The Radical Romantics, on July 25th via Mute.
Across 14 tracks, the group provide live-to-tape studio versions of previous material from their 2023 record Radical Romantics, as well as new iterations of old favorites like "If I Had a Heart" and "To the Moon and Back", which feature new musical accompaniment.
The record is meant to be a culmination of their recent live tour, and features an order that mimics their setlist. It also includes two "Therapy Session" versions (apart from the other 12 tracks' "Radical Romantics Session" versions) of two songs from the debut, "I'm Not Done" and "Now's the Only Time I Know", the latter of which is out today.
Watch the official "Therapy Session" video below:
The first tease came last month, with a new version of "I'm Not Done" (also from the debut self-titled LP). Watch the video for that while you're at it:
Here's what they had to say about these reinterpretations:
"These versions feel good at this time. We don’t know where we are next. But I want something warm. And I want it to be collective."
The sessions were performed by the band that joined Dreijer onstage for the tour: Minna Koivisto on keyboards; Romarna Campbell on drums; and Maryam Nikandish and Helena Gutarra on keytars and vocals.
