Karin Elisabeth Dreijer Andersson (born 7 April 1975 in Nacka, Sweden) is a Swedish musician. She was one-half of the electronic music duo The Knife, formed with her brother Olof Dreijer. Andersson was previously the vocalist and guitarist of the alternative rock band Honey Is Cool. Andersson released her debut solo album under the name Fever Ray in 2009. Her vocal style is notable for both shrill and deep tones, and also the use of multitracked vocals, with different uses of pitch-shifting technology on each track, creating an intricate and mysterious effect. Visually, Andersson employs the use of masks, face and body paint, intricate costumes, and other theatrical elements in photo shoots, videos and live performances, during which she often performs behind a gauze screen that partially obscures her from view. ==Solo work== While The Knife was on hiatus, Andersson released her self-titled solo debut album ''Fever Ray'' digitally on 12 January 2009 and physically on 18 March 2009 via Rabid Records, preceded by its lead single "If I Had a Heart", released digitally on 15 December 2008. The song was later used in the 31 July 2011 episode of American television series ''Breaking Bad'', as well as becoming the main title music for the Canadian-Irish historical drama television series ''Vikings'', which premiered on 3 March 2013. In 2009, Andersson composed the soundtrack to ''Dirty Diaries'', a collection of feminist pornographic short films. In a review of the collection, Swedish newspaper ''Smålandsposten'' described the soundtrack as appropriate to the film, though repetitive. Andersson performed as Fever Ray at the 2010 Coachella Festival and received positive reviews. In September of the same year, she performed at Electric Picnic in Ireland and at Bestival in England. Contrary to a statement from the film's director, Andersson did not make a cameo appearance in the 2011 film ''Red Riding Hood''. However, the soundtrack features the exclusive track "The Wolf", which Andersson co-wrote with her band members, as well as "Keep the Streets Empty for Me". "The wolf" also featured in Ubisoft' Far cry : Primal announcement trailer. Andersson wrote the music for the theatrical adaptation of Ingmar Bergman's 1968 horror film ''Hour of the Wolf'', which premiered at Stockholm's Royal Dramatic Theatre on 12 March 2011. One of these tracks, "No Face", appeared in demo form on the 2012 compilation album ''We Are the Works in Progress'', organised by Blonde Redhead to benefit victims of the 2011 Japanese tsunami. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Karin Dreijer Andersson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
