I’ve always described Fever Ray as Sweden’s answer to Bjork. So if Bjork isn’t your cup of tea, I can see how Fever Ray wouldn’t resonate either.

In my meager understanding, the depth in many of the songs is created by small redundancies and a slow “feverish” build to a climax. I like that the songs are generally ominous but also poppy and melodic in a strangely wonderful way. That’s the best I can do with Fever Ray. It took a few listens to really begin to enjoy but it took me to a kind of Kid-A place eventually. I think the album is bookended with its strongest tracks If I Had a Heart and Keep the Streets Empty For Me. Hope that helps and if not, please completely ignore this description:)

Florence and the Machine may deserve to be on this list too, but it was only released in early July. Merriweather Post Pavilion feels like a while ago so its easy to lose it in the shuffle, but it is definitely one of my favorites of 2009. I’m excited to catch them in Prospect Park next month.

Great list. I will dig into later on.

Can anyone explain why they love Fever Ray? I can’t get into it, but clearly a lot of people can.
