Review by andyblueman Mar 24, 2009

referencing Fever Ray, 10xFile, MP3, Album, 320, RABID 039

B-b-brilliant solo album release from Karin Dreijer Andersson (singer in The Knife). She continues in the same style as the last release from The Knife. We all know "Silent Shout", an epic electro classic, and 'If I Had A Heart' also has what it takes to be a classic. Honestly I didn't care much for it the first time I heard it, but now after listening to it sometimes I simply love it! It will never be as good as "Silent Shout", 'cause that's almost impossible, but anyway this is pure quality.
And the same goes for the rest of the album, it's simply brilliant. Much elements taken from Knife's earlier singles, but now in a more leftfield/drumming style. But still with the electro sounds from the album "Silent Shout" and the eastern-europe voice from the album "Deep Cuts".
Gorgeous jungle sounds are found in 'Triangle Walks' and superb use of drums and whistles can be heard in 'Seven'. And what about the last track, 'Coconut', it's excellent! 'When I Grow Up' will also stand out as one of the best songs on this album!

This album will grow more for each listening. A must have! 5/5
