I know this video is older, and a lot of people think she’s just trying to look “crazy” but this outfit she’s wearing is supposed to spread awareness about women in the Middle East who commonly suffer from having acid poured on their faces, and she’s standing up for them.
Read below: Her name is Karin Dreijer, and she's the singer for both Fever Ray (what has been more like a solo project and is now being "put to sleep") and The Knife. She and the other part of The Knife (Olof Dreijer) are somewhat famous for always wearing masks in interviews and for their not-so-often-live performances. So, this is kind of her/their thing. I dont think they want to expose themselves in media, they just want to do music. She won price for best dance music of the year.
Fever Ray melts sometimes, I don't think she has any control over it. I had tickets to see her in Utrecht once but the show was canceled because she melted. I guess it's sort of like that time Bjork had the cancel an entire leg of her tour in 2006 because she turned to paper for a month.
I heard the "Bjork turns to paper" thing was just a cover story for a more slippery issue. Does she have gills, or doesn't she? Is she a mammal or a ram ventilator? I still couldn't say... If I remember right, this was around the time she and Matthew Barney were on the rocks-just a mess-and her amphibious transmog habits were known to be getting wayyy out of hand-much worse than she showed on film in tour documentary Drawing Restraint 9.
Just so perfect.......what can you say about this woman that even comes close to describing her nuances and deft touches musically and spiritually? Truly awe-some!
you still believe in that bullshit media sold you 10 years ago just to invade Muslim lands?? what about voice of women raped by invaders and men tortured in afghan and iraq?? dont be a hypocrite
foxx3059 What does anything that you wrote have to with Muslim men in the name of Islam throwing acid on girls because they want to go to school? Seriously are you arguing that just because America invaded Afghanistan this makes it OK to throw acid in the faces of girls? America has done a lot of horrible things ... still disfiguring young girls on purpose in the name of religion... lets just say at least America has some standards. PS PendenT DooM, according to RUclips, is Turkish. Fever Ray, the woman in the video is Swedish. Still, if you want an American to project on... here I am.
started with your comment, Muslim men dont throw acid on women;s its just bullshit west talks about to invade Muslim lands, and it was not only america who invaded, European forces were with them too, your entire comment is invalid and it shows your lack of complete knowledge you just are just headlines reader
foxx3059 YOUR comment shows that you have allowed yourself to become so jaded by headlines that you dont take anything seriously and that is in fact worse.
She set a precedent! From now on, all awards recipients should be masked and on stage for just a minute LOL. I LOVE FEVER RAY. That debut album is a masterpiece. One of my all time favourite albums.
@Jessicanana89 if you are saying Fever Ray is weird i 100% agree. but that's what makes her so special. it's like there's no filler on her songs. they end at perfect ties too, before they ever get dull. and her voice is so perfect, i think she could do a cover of any song and make it sound amazing. I consider her debut solo album to be the best album of 2009.
She's just so far beyond what their minds can encompass they get scared and then get angry because of their own short comings! Always gonna happen with people at the cutting edge of art and philosphy, Im afraid the masses really are ignorant! Amen for those that love and understand!
soy mexicano y como dijo una vez una banda mexicana de rock alternativo ( austin tv) yo quiero q la gente q nos escucha les guste la musica q tocamos y no les gustemos por nuestro aspecto fisico ellos utilizan mascaras , y en verdad pienso q la musica la debes de sentir y no dejarte llevar nada mas por el aspecto visual me encanta la letras de fever ray dice muchas cosas se q toda la gente piensa diferente y respeto ante todo eso.
¿y si no hubiera ganado? Se hubiera ido a casa con la duda de si la cosa habría tenido gracia o no. Pensad en la cantidad de futbolistas que se lanzan al campo con una dedicatoria debajo de la camiseta pero luego no meten gol.
I saw this on the soup and realized they showed Promoe. hahaha SICK. I just saw them at the Viper Room in Los Angeles a couple of months ago. LOOPTROOP ROCKERS!!!!!!!
I know, I do listen to Nephew, Justice and a couple of other European bands. Those are just my picks of 2009. I love Kasabian, they have a very psychedelic 60s' sound to them. And I do love my 60's.
It's a swedish music gala, the presenter called September, announces that Fever Ray is the best dance act of the year. Surrounding September is the Rongedal-brothers, extremely popular music dudes from Sweden, best known for their party top of the pops-hit: Just a minute.
I agree with you they are totally different and I wish Lady GaGa would acknowledge those who inspired her which is obviously Fever Ray and other European acts. Love karin true performance art at it's finest.
@Phazio yea I agree -- I live in the US and haven't seen the whole show but I did see the clip of Staygold, which I thought was really cool. Amazing how much good music coming out of Sverige! Little Dragon, Movits . . . Snook the list goes on
You know, I'm just really glad I could see a great display of public eloquence. Thanks, Joel McHale, for having this be the clip of the week, if I hadn't seen it, I would've missed an excellent example of public speaking at it's finest. I especially like the bit about "UNNNNGG" after "MMMPHH......HRRRRR". Very creative use of language and very true too.
@Jessicanana89 yeah it's just amazing. she's advanced too. go here her on the song "neon" by The Knife. even back then she was great and yet she's made so much improvement.
this is lady gaga. she is dressed in red and her make up is melting but all in all that is gaga and i love lady gaga. she is starting to rock the international scene ...get with it brah
Fever Ray, she has been round for longer than Lady Gaga....... She is multi famous in her home country. Although, people will have heard of Gaga first, which makes fever ray the imitation.
protesting the violence against women in Afghanistan, including acid attacks
FİNALLY a good comment.
u win!
wonderful! I wondered why her face looked melted
We need more unique ppl like this, the world would be boring if we were all the same!!
I like most of her music!
I can't disagree with anything she said.
i keep coming back to this, this is so iconic
I know this video is older, and a lot of people think she’s just trying to look “crazy” but this outfit she’s wearing is supposed to spread awareness about women in the Middle East who commonly suffer from having acid poured on their faces, and she’s standing up for them.
This is basically me delivering a presentation to my English class..
A true performance artist
karin is an amazing person. Her style, themes, and art are much deeper than many have eyes to see.
Best thanks speech ever
BEST acceptance speech ever! no doubt.. she's a legend
i really like the camera angle and her shivery gestures during the speech. it inspired me, thank you, fever ray.
1:04 these 2 guys looking at each other in bewildered excitement is my favorite thing ever
these are guys from the looptroop rockers 😁

oscar winners and their speeches could learn a lot from karin
she protests the violence against women in afghanistan, particularly acid attacks

Tab Hol why are you repeating what i am saying ? lol?? you 13+ ?
I am breathless...
All this projects they have been working on was music for the sake of music..
They deserve all the praise they have got for it.
God I love her, so original and walks to the beat of her own drum
Very shocking. The guys at the end had my exact reaction - delight at being made to feel so suddenly uncomfortable. Thank you for posting.
Fortfarande det coolaste jag sett på TV
Fever Ray is just amazing you cannot say her music is bad. possibly the perfect artist ever???
She set a precedent! From now on, all awards recipients should be masked and on stage for just a minute LOL. I LOVE FEVER RAY.
That debut album is a masterpiece. One of my all time favourite albums.
Fever Ray will always be Fever Ray. Intriguing and mysterious.
Best thank you speech EVER
She's just cool and integrity personified. Love it!
Fever Ray has been long before that Gaga
She's back? Awesome!
Loved the Knife and her stuff was awesome, too.
I adore her. It's good to know I am not the only strange person in the world.
THIS WAS FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*searches for english closed captions*
UUGGHH no captions wtf.. how am I... supposed.. to..... oh.
RJO Photo Haha :) Anyway, captions has been added
She's just so far beyond what their minds can encompass they get scared and then get angry because of their own short comings! Always gonna happen with people at the cutting edge of art and philosphy, Im afraid the masses really are ignorant! Amen for those that love and understand!

absolutely awesome. fever ray knife is awesome!!!
I think its cool that there are people out there like Fever Ray, it makes the world interesting, makes me wonder what type of person she is. :3
Best speech I ever heard.
What's the music??? I like it
soy mexicano y como dijo una vez una banda mexicana de rock alternativo ( austin tv) yo quiero q la gente q nos escucha les guste la musica q tocamos y no les gustemos por nuestro aspecto fisico ellos utilizan mascaras , y en verdad pienso q la musica la debes de sentir y no dejarte llevar nada mas por el aspecto visual me encanta la letras de fever ray dice muchas cosas se q toda la gente piensa diferente y respeto ante todo eso.
Oye sabes como se llama la Cancion que suena de fondo
¿y si no hubiera ganado? Se hubiera ido a casa con la duda de si la cosa habría tenido gracia o no. Pensad en la cantidad de futbolistas que se lanzan al campo con una dedicatoria debajo de la camiseta pero luego no meten gol.
@ABN2808 i think it's Triangle Walks by Fever Ray
thanx for sharing Katy!
I saw this on the soup and realized they showed Promoe. hahaha SICK.
I just saw them at the Viper Room in Los Angeles a couple of months ago.
LOOPTROOP ROCKERS!!!!!!!
I know, I do listen to Nephew, Justice and a couple of other European bands.

I love Kasabian, they have a very psychedelic 60s' sound to them. And I do love my 60's.
Incredible. What an awesome artist
Hahaha, already classic. Just as her music her acceptance "speach" is unique. Wonderfull.
