Fever Ray is the moniker of Swedish artist Karin Elisabeth Dreijer, who is also one half of the critically acclaimed electronic duo The Knife, which she formed with her brother Olof Dreijer. Fever Ray's music is characterized by its haunting atmospheres, evocative lyrics, and innovative electronic soundscapes. After The Knife went on a hiatus, Dreijer debuted her solo project with the eponymous album "Fever Ray" in 2009, which included hits like "If I Had a Heart" and "When I Grow Up." The project's sound is deeply personal and often explores themes of identity, sexuality, and human relationships, all wrapped in a cloak of gothic-tinged electronica.

With a reputation for distinctive visual aesthetics and immersive live shows, Fever Ray's subsequent releases have continued to push the boundaries of electronic music. In 2017, Dreijer followed up with a second album, "Plunge," which received acclaim for its bold exploration of queerness and politics. The most recent releases, such as the remix collection for "Carbon Dioxide" and tracks like "Kandy" and "What They Call Us," showcase an ongoing evolution of Fever Ray's sound, keeping the project at the forefront of the electronic music scene. The single "Radical Romantics" particularly teases a new chapter in Fever Ray's discography, where each remix and track stands as a testament to Dreijer's enduring ability to morph and adapt while maintaining a unique musical identity that has captured a devoted fanbase across the globe.
