是否該停下
還是再繼續?
是獨樂樂
還是眾樂樂?
是遺忘了價值
還是遺失了方向？
甚抑或…是時候
暫休一會
然後再重新出發？

二缺一 - Fever Ray

My Music Choice

Fever Ray

By:Fever Ray







由姊弟檔Olof Dreijer與Karin Dreijer Andersson組成的瑞典電子樂團The Knife，自2006年出版了《Silent Shout》，二人隨即處於暫休狀態。翌年，姐姐Karin Dreijer Andersson在誕下第二胎後，同時宣告以 Fever Ray 之名義復出，展開其個人Project灌錄的工作。在推出過兩支單曲〈If I Had a Heart〉及〈When I Grow Up〉之後，首張同名專輯亦終於推出。

Fever Ray是Karin和曾參與The Knife舊作的混音師Christoffer Berg、Van Rivers以及Subliminal Kid共同製作下的成果。儘管成員不同，但當第一次聽《Fever Ray》的時候，還是會覺得它跟The Knife很相似。那種黑暗、冷酷的氛圍，正是延續了The Knife的陰暗曲風。不過細聽下去，Fever Ray還是慢慢展示了她比The Knife更冷酷的一面。



《Fever Ray》內的歌曲全是Karin產後的創作，環繞著她當時模糊意識，白日夢境，醒著疲憊的飄浮狀態。Karin獨特奇異的聲線，依舊是其最引人的賣點，配合厚重神秘的電音編排，略帶Goth味道，凝造出一份迷離玄幻的境界。相比The Knife簡約明確的電子節拍，《Fever Ray》的氣氛無疑顯得更陰沉，內斂，令整張專輯頗為黑暗壓抑。

專輯中的〈If I Had a Heart〉音樂錄影帶裡，孩子們漂浮於黑色的河流之上，想要穿越一座被遺棄的城堡，像要尋找末世的救贖一般。先進的技術讓視覺和聽覺雙結合，讓現實和幻想迷糊在一起，彌漫著一份令人焦慮不安的失落感，但無法否認，這些都非常的漂亮。

骷髏、詭異的人臉、黑暗中的閃爍燈光、充滿律動的節奏。詭譎淒迷，處處流竄出異於尋常的氣息。《Fever Ray》對於氣氛的掌握，仍有其獨到之處，教人聽的喜出望外。
