Fever Ray, aka Karin Dreijer Andersson of The Knife, will release her new single "Seven" September 29, 2009. This digital-only single is the fourth single from Fever Ray's critically acclaimed self-titled album. The single features remixes CSS, Martyn, Nic Chacona, Marcel Dettmann and Seth Troxler. The video is directed by Johan Renck, Watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LN3oOo7bpks

Fever Ray will bring her 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 2007 Andersson and brother Olof Dreijer – performing together as The Knife – debuted live to US 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.

Andreas Nilsson - who designed The Knife's live show - is the visual mastermind behind Fever Ray's live show. To see Fever Ray perform live is to enter a darkly compelling world of exquisite mystery. "Andersson may keep her face hidden, but the ascetic intensity of her performance is such that her soul is bared… [She] pulls you inexorably into the darkness of her world," said The UK's Guardian in their review of Fever Ray's debut UK performance at London's Royal Festival Hall in April 2009. "Andersson holds her audience utterly spellbound…She may hate the limelight but she has presence to burn" said the UK's Drowned In Sound in their review of that same show.

Fever Ray is the title of both project and album, an evocation of the music’s sound, intense and anxious, yet luminous. It’s the culmination of work that began in 2007 when Karin and Olof, the brother-sister duo who are The Knife, decided to take time out following a handful of incredible live shows. Their first two albums did well in their Swedish homeland; their third, "Silent Shout," went to Number One, won six Swedish Grammys, underlined their reputation as an act capable of the truly extraordinary and was pronounced the Best Record Of 2006 by Pitchfork.

Released in 2009 Fever Ray's self-titled debut has already collected extraordinary praise, with an 8.1 review ranking and best new music distinction from Pitchfork. Nylon calls the album "dark, surreal and majestic" and Filter calls it "sublime and magically creepy" with an 87% review ranking.

In addition to Andersson's Fever Ray project, she continues to collaborate with brother Olof as The Knife. The Knife is currently writing an opera based on the life of Charles Darwin. Called "Tomorrow In A Year" the opera will premier in Copenhagen in late 2009.
