While The Knife’s Silent Shout was praised for its music, Fever Ray’s debut is worth appreciating for its minimal, icy compositions, which are perhaps more beautiful. This enables Karin Dreijer Andersson’s lyrics and her voice(s) to be the centre of attention. When I Grow Up offers typically leftfield snapshots of thoughts and day-dreams, accompanied by a watery oriental soundtrack that borrows much from Silent Shout. It is, like the rest of the album, spectacular.
Best appreciated a little larger.
