Fever Ray At Coachella 2010!

Dressed like techno druids in all black and pale white face paint with a stage set up of blinking vintage lamps, Fever Ray’s set at Coachella 2010 was typically visceral and totally unique. Lasers overhead caught the smoke in the air, transforming the stage into a swirling neon ocean. The music hewed pretty close to the low subliminal brood of Fever Ray’s self-titled debut, but with a few playful twists like extra synth loops and tom-tom drums.
With 70-minutes of macabre lighting, terrifying costumes and sweet-smelling incense smoke this wasn’t just another tranced-out DJ set: it was a horror film-inspired installation piece that celebrated an extremely productive twelve months for Karin which included the Fever Ray releases of ‘Fever Ray’ and ‘Live in Lulea’, as well as The Knife in collaboration with Mt Sims and Planningtorock’s electronic opera ‘Tomorrow, in a Year’.
