Wrap your arms around me

I felt the earth
I felt the time
The sky was blue
Come, normalize
Then I got the urge for penetration

When we meet
Wrap your arms around me
Tell me all those things you haven't told me

In the crowd
I'll find you
On your lapel there's a red carnation

All the things that's left to do
Feel love and build a house with you
And free the unborn child at the castle

Wrap your arms around me
Wrap your arms around me
Wrap your arms around me
Wrap your arms around me

(Free the unborn child at the castle)

This was my exact reaction while watching the The Handmaid's Tale:

"Whoah, this song is awesome! It sounds like something "The Knife" would make. The singer even sounds like Karin Dreijer, but it obviously can't be her, because no one's ever heard of...wait a minute."

Immersed in The Handmaid's Tale. Loving the music. In particular this one. Never heard of them before. Loud applause to the soundtrack - it adds much to the menace and tension!

This is good but I would much prefer another Fever Ray album! I can honestly say that I have seldom been stunned by an album as much as that before or since. Maybe Fat of the Land did it last.. but your Fever Ray tracks have so much detail that the longevity is infinite. Concrete Walls is the underdog! I love how it's in 10/4 & has a protracted instrumental finalé at the end! Pleeeeease do just 1 more Fever Ray record.. I will mail you my soul!

PhiliWilli

Concrete Walls is one of my Favorite songs of all time. Fever Ray is a masterpiece of an album, for sure!

Franco Botassi

the new Fever Ray is exaclty like The Knife. I prefeer the first album.

melted dali

therealKINDLE your wish has been granted

Fever Ray is certainly flawless. Every step one takes while listening to that album is monumental. I can see pointing out similarities, but to compare it to any Knife album is silly. It's a totally different project with a different concept and feel, though again, there are similarities. That's why we have been blessed with choices. Enough choices where we can spin the A side of FR and then throw on side D of STH, etc. I would love for her to follow up with her solo project, but because we have already been given the greatest album, we can't complain.

To comment on this song, though; It's superb. Enjoy it or don't... but I feel You would find it difficult not to.

Abominable Love

@*****
Hmmm, I think whereas I seem to focus more on theme when judging an album, you seem to focus on sonics. I am no expert, as you seem to be, but I will concede that Fever Ray has a level of nuance that seemingly can only be achieved when Karin is crafting on her own. I mean, you can literally hear every breath and lip smack with each line delivery on the opener and that cello you mention in I'm Not Done is one of my favorite musical moments of all time. There was clearly a profuse amount of care that went into that album, but I think STH is more about, as the title suggests, forgoing norms, which manifested itself as a centerpiece of improvisation. The Dreijers wanted to create something new and bold, and while that might mean that they renounced perfection in their uncompromising ambition, I think they've succeeded in their aim and are more commendable for it. Again, I am not firm in my opinions. I've been living with FR for 5 years and STH less than 1. I honestly, probably have more love for FR, but I have greater respect for STH. I just don't think STH should be disregarded as "not as good as Fever Ray," because while that very well may be true, it's because it was so much more of an enterprise in my opinion.

This is what Fever Ray should have gone for in her second album. This is more Karin's solo project vibes than The Knife's.

Matías Schppe

❤ fav song from this album ❤

Serious Black

So I had a surreal time with my very hot boss at work one day, passionate playing that started with a simple embrace... Already knew this song but it happened to play on the radio on my drive home, what are the odds? Awesome.

@Denis Pupyshev thank you!

Denis Pupyshev

3y↑3

It is considered to be an experimental electronic music, as its production is quite unconventional and the sound itself doesn't suit any other genre
Of course you might hear some traces of trip hop, ethno, drone music, etc., but The Knife have always had their own sound that simply can not be put in a single category

Jmluke1

Still awesome

Raging Lung is also magical

This single-handedly raises the score of THT from abysmal to something else. Thought at first it was a cover of New Dawn Fades by - Joy Division of all things.

i think they should try highlighting certain elements in their songs, when she sings "i'm free.." they could have emphasized that in the music a bit more, brought it more to the forefront. Just bringing the voices more to the fore would make this better in my opinion. Adding more contrast to the phasing in and out would be good.
