“THIS COUNTRY MAKES IT HARD TO FUCK!”
-Karin Dreijer (a.k.a. Fever Ray)
Yes it does, Karin, yes it does.
But it also provides good roads, a broad respect for property rights, and many good people in many good cities. Tremendous people. Good people. So, we’re delighted to know that, fucking or otherwise, you’re willing to cross the pond for your first North American shows as Fever Ray in eight years.
This is very delightful news — but perhaps even more delightful is the simultaneous news that “Wanna Sip,” one of the highlights from last year’s Plunge, now has a very creepy new video. The clip features a very strange and beautifully lit dinner date, and it’s the fifth part in her “Switch Seeks Same” series of videos — directed by Martin Falck — exploring desire, sexual orientation, repression, denial, control, pleasure, and pain. (You can read more about ALL THOSE FEELS in an interview Dreijer and Falck did with Stereogum last week.)
Check the video for “Wanna Sip” below, and find those beneficent tour dates down below that. Plunge is available from out now from Mute/Rabid Records.
