DON'T LOOK BACK IN ANGER : THE ALBUMS, 2017.


08/fever ray/plunge

Fever Ray's Plunge is most concerned with three things: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It is an album about pushing beyond what's possible, both sonically and sexually; existing for all babies pushing boundaries, and for those who are curious. "I wanna do it, when we do it, it's my way..." is slurred forcefully at the outset, and never forgotten as Plunge plays and Karin Dreijer voices and addresses this woman's wants and needs, and indulges in them despite the outside forces around us who may find them too queer, or countries who make it hard to fuck. All done in the pursuit of life, liberty, and that which brings happiness which, for Dreijer, is all of the above, and these chaotic experimental dance tracks. She wants to feel dirty again in a room full of the clean cut, and with Plunge she gets her life by indulging in the dark.
