Fever Ray and so much more, this week on Saturday Morning

This week on Saturday Morning we feature the new solo project from Sweden’s Karin Dreijer Andersson, Fever Ray. Both the name of the project and album, it reflects the intensity and anxiety, as well as the luminescence, of the music. This is an album of hypnotic music and half-formed thoughts written during the months after Dreijer Andersson delivered her second baby.  She says she prefers to write in that “awake but exhausted” dream-like state.  Her music is like a beautiful, and at times chilling, sonic translation of that state.  I hope you will tune in as we feature this masterful album.

Elvis Perkins on Saturday Morning

Hi All,

 

I got hold of an advanced copy of Elvis Perkins new album, Elvis Perkins in Dearland, and will be featuring it on the show this Saturday.  Elvis is a contemporary folk musician who mixes inspired lyrics with a range of musical influences from New Orleans Jazz to funeral derges.  He is the son of Anthony Perkins of “Psycho” fame (who died of AIDS in 1992) and Berry Berneson, a Life magazine photographer.  She died on American Airlines flight 11 after it was crashed into the World Trade centers on September 11, 2001.  He was in the process of writing his first album, Ash Wednesday, when his mother was killed, leading him to interrupt the process for a year.  Ash Wednesday was ultimately released in 2007, and was strongly influenced by these two great losses in his life.  While Elvis Perkins continues to explore issues of life and death in Elvis Perkins in Dearland (also the name of his band), there is more is more celebratory tone on this album.  I think it will prove to be one of the best albums of the year. 

 

I will also be playing new music from Laura Gibson’s haunting and beautiful Beasts of Seasons. 

 

Hope you can tune in.
