interested in challenging the listener, chances are it\u2019s indebted to Karin Dreijer. Along with their brother Olof, Karin formed The Knife, releasing their debut album in 2001, with each subsequent album celebrating the messy, rapturous, and uniquely human process of reinvention. Known for the audacious costumes that hid their identities and a deep interest in injecting academic ideas into their music, The Knife felt like an evolution in every way. 2013\u2019s urgent and con<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/sciencee\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"Science\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">science<\/a>-rattling <i>Shaking The Habitual<\/i>, the duo\u2019s final gift before they went their separate ways, outlined the contours of a better world beyond the music industry.<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            With The Knife finished, Karin turned their attention to Fever Ray, their solo project. The act\u2019s self-titled debut arrived in 2009 and found Dreijer ruminating on marriage, parenthood, and domesicity\u2019s effects on the soul. But Karin\u2019s marriage dissolved in the years leading up to 2017\u2019s <i>Plunge<\/i>. In contrast to the monochrome hues of the previous release, <i>Plunge<\/i> was a saturated nosedive into queer sexuality and politics, using club music as its springboard. Vulnerable without ever compromising on its demands for dignity and a sustainable future, Fever Ray\u2019s sophomore record clearly articulated the stakes while pulling the listener toward the dance floor.<\/p>\n<p>            On their new album, <i>Radical Romantics<\/i>, Dreijer is more seasoned, reflective, and assured despite the constantly shifting ground beneath their feet. The subject matter is still heady: In a press statement, Dreijer says they want to examine \u201cthe myth of love\u201d and how to embody its best principles. As ever, they spin their abundance of questions into poetry that can be surrounded by catchy experimental pop, searing goth-tinged electro, and club music refracted through a crystal plucked from a meteorite. Dreijer reunites with their brother Olof on four songs and enlists Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross of Nine Inch Nails on two others. Crucially, though, these tracks don\u2019t amount to a Knife reunion or a Nine Inch Nails feature, but a bolstering of Dreijer\u2019s own unique vision. <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            Last week, Karin Dreijer called me from the mountains of Sweden to discuss the new project, making art about love, and radical solutions to everyday problems.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-243662\" class=\"content_block breaker triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left image\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1440,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/FF_WTCU_04_Photographer_Nina_Andersson_tlbl9g\/the-world-is-opening-up-for-fever-ray.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_220,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/FF_WTCU_04_Photographer_Nina_Andersson_tlbl9g\/the-world-is-opening-up-for-fever-ray.jpg 220w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_300,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/FF_WTCU_04_Photographer_Nina_Andersson_tlbl9g\/the-world-is-opening-up-for-fever-ray.jpg 300w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/FF_WTCU_04_Photographer_Nina_Andersson_tlbl9g\/the-world-is-opening-up-for-fever-ray.jpg 400w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_600,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/FF_WTCU_04_Photographer_Nina_Andersson_tlbl9g\/the-world-is-opening-up-for-fever-ray.jpg 600w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_750,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/FF_WTCU_04_Photographer_Nina_Andersson_tlbl9g\/the-world-is-opening-up-for-fever-ray.jpg 750w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_840,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/FF_WTCU_04_Photographer_Nina_Andersson_tlbl9g\/the-world-is-opening-up-for-fever-ray.jpg 840w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_960,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/FF_WTCU_04_Photographer_Nina_Andersson_tlbl9g\/the-world-is-opening-up-for-fever-ray.jpg 960w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1260,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/FF_WTCU_04_Photographer_Nina_Andersson_tlbl9g\/the-world-is-opening-up-for-fever-ray.jpg 1260w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1800,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/FF_WTCU_04_Photographer_Nina_Andersson_tlbl9g\/the-world-is-opening-up-for-fever-ray.jpg 1800w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_2400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/FF_WTCU_04_Photographer_Nina_Andersson_tlbl9g\/the-world-is-opening-up-for-fever-ray.jpg 2400w,\" sizes=\"100vw\" alt=\"The world is opening up for Fever Ray\"><span class=\"img_caption\"><\/p>\n<p>  <span class=\"credit\"><\/p>\n<p>      Karolina Pajak<\/p>\n<p>  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content_block paragraph triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<style>\n<p> #content_block-243663,  #content_block-243663 blockquote.pull_quote, #content_block-243663 .img_caption .caption {\n   color: #d6e6f5;\n }\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-243663\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>            <i>This Q&amp;A is taken from the latest episode of The FADER Interview podcast.

Do you believe art that looks at love has to challenge an institution in order to be truly thorough?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>            <span style=\"color:#b9ccf7\"><b>Karin Dreijer:<\/b><\/span> I can only speak from a culture where I was brought up and how we were fed when growing up what love was about. It was a revelation when I read Bell Hooks\u2019 <i>All About Love<\/i>, when she talks about love as a verb, an action, something we do. That was a totally new way for me to understand what it is and to at least have a definition.<\/p>\n<p>            I didn\u2019t really understand. I thought of love as a feeling. It\u2019s weird because so many institutions are built on this idea of love, like marriage and how to have children, and it\u2019s a very strange way to build society on when you don\u2019t have a definition of what it really is that you\u2019re talking about.<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            <span style=\"color:#b9ccf7\"><b>To that end, <i>Radical Romantics<\/i> feels like a case study in new ways of both thinking about love and feeling about love. Is that fair to say?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>            I guess so. But it doesn\u2019t have so much to do with romantic love, I think.

It\u2019s just something that has developed, and it\u2019s what I felt was important to write about. This old cliche that to be able to love somebody, you have to love yourself first \u2014 it\u2019s hard to accept, but I think it\u2019s sort of true. You have to become a friend to yourself, I think, to be able to exist at all and to have close relationships with people. That can be quite a hard thing to accept. And when you finally do accept it, you have to implement it into your life.<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            I\u2019m not saying that I know this and I have done this; it\u2019s something to strive for. It\u2019s an everyday work. It\u2019s an ongoing process, and if you\u2019ve had difficulties with these things, it\u2019s something you have to relearn and work on every day for the rest of your life. It\u2019s not like you just switch and then it\u2019s all good and you know how to do things, unfortunately. You\u2019re never finished. There is no goal.

It takes a long time for me, compared to how other people work, to make music, because it\u2019s a research for myself at the same time. With every song, I\u2019m trying so many different ways to do it because I would like to find the best way to describe something and to tell a story. So I record a lot of things that don\u2019t make it to the end. <\/p>\n<p>            In Sweden, we didn\u2019t have a lockdown. I could still go to my studio every day.

I work with an old friend, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#c061ba\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/neuemartin\/?hl=en\">Martin Falck<\/a>, who worked on the <i>Plunge<\/i> project as well. We always collect images and film clips and are always in communication about what we feel is fun, what we feel is interesting, and what we should do next time. A year before [<i>Radical Romantics<\/i>] was finished, we started to try to capture what kind of world it\u2019s supposed to happen in this time. And then we tried out costumes and makeup.

Some stuff you just have to try out and look at, and you understand afterwards what happened.<\/p>\n<p>            I feel very alone when making music. I do collaborate with other people, but I\u2019m the director, and I have to make the decisions.

I caught a couple of allusions to domestic life, but it\u2019s put in a different context: You\u2019ve learned how not to be stifled. Were you collapsing time on that song?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>            It does have elements of domestic activities, like the baking stuff that you\u2019re supposed to do to be a good parent. I mean, I\u2019m a mother. My kids now are old. One is about to move out, and they don\u2019t require the same care as before. And this thing [of], \u201cAm I really allowed to do what I do? Am I a good parent even if I go on tour, leave my kids?\u201d It\u2019s been with me for a very long time. I still don\u2019t really know how to do it: how to combine parenthood and work. The only ones who can tell are my kids. Maybe they will write really horrible biographies about how I deserted them.<\/p>\n<p>            <span style=\"color:#b9ccf7\"><b>You just touched on a part of what makes the Fever Ray project so continually compelling: With each new project, we witness Karin Dreijer learning about themself. It\u2019s the old boulder being pushed up the hill and falling back down again. Each album feels like the boulder has come back down again, but you\u2019ve found a new way of pushing it back up.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            I\u2019ve talked to Martin about it a lot, because both of us have been or are struggling a lot with anxiety. It can be so heavy that I feel like I can\u2019t really exist in this world. There is no room for what I\u2019m feeling and how I function. It doesn\u2019t work at all in the way that I\u2019m being told I\u2019m supposed to function. When you\u2019ve had those experiences, every time when it opens up and you feel it\u2019s going away for a little bit, it\u2019s like the whole world is opening up. And you feel so much freedom, so much thankfulness of being alive. I think a lot of what we do is just to create spaces where we can feel free and where we can work, where we don\u2019t feel so trapped or dysfunctional like we do in most other situations.<\/p>\n<p>            <span style=\"color:#b9ccf7\"><b>You\u2019ve hinted in previous interviews that you believe the club and dancing and movement are great ways to create those kinds of spaces of freedom, places where one doesn\u2019t feel so trapped. Are you still bringing that perspective to <i>Radical Romantics<\/i>?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>            Yes. For me, music has always been a great help to feel free. It\u2019s something I strive for. I would love to be able to create such spaces when we go on tour. But at the same time, there\u2019s so much I can\u2019t control about the room. I can\u2019t really say that about clubs, but it\u2019s something that we would love to be able to create. Music can be a great comfort and just a thing to go through the day and be able to feel things.

There has to be some punishment for a person who behaves like this, for a bully, and it didn\u2019t really happen.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content_block paragraph triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<style>\n<p> #content_block-243688,  #content_block-243688 blockquote.pull_quote, #content_block-243688 .img_caption .caption {\n   color: #c061ba;\n }\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-243688\" class=\"content_block breaker triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left pull_quote\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"pull_quote\"><p>\u201cThe song is sort of a revenge.

Does that foment in you a pressure to always be unorthodox and to think of radical solutions to problems like this one?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>            No. I think of myself as a very scared person, because I know I\u2019m afraid of a lot of things. For this situation, I wish I had been more brave and dared to speak up. But I don\u2019t think the people at my kids\u2019 school would even care. In their world, I am a weird person. There was a lot of homophobic and transphobic violence going on, and I think they also saw me as a person that was a bit strange and weird and queer, and they didn\u2019t want to touch that. That\u2019s sort of how it is in Sweden.<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            <span style=\"color:#b9ccf7\"><b>When did that start? Or when did it get worse, I guess?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>            I think it has become worse because last year, we got a new government that is backed up by a neo-fascist party that has its roots in a Neo-Nazi movement. And it\u2019s like a fifth of the Swedish population who voted for this party. It has affected a lot of things in Sweden, like the migration laws and rights for a lot of minorities. That sort of thing is happening all around. I know it\u2019s happening in the U.S., and it\u2019s happening all over Europe as well. It\u2019s not [just] a Swedish thing. But I think a lot of people thought it wouldn\u2019t happen here because we have this proud <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a> democratic history. It\u2019s an image that I think Swedish people probably have believed themselves, but it\u2019s not really true.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content_block paragraph triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n    <span><br \/>\n      By <span class=\"credit_name\">Jordan Darville<\/span><br \/>\n  <\/span><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async defer src=\"https:\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
