With such a distinctive voice (she somehow makes ’shrill’ sound good), it’s easy to recognize her in other collaborations (i.e. multiple tracks with Royksopp).  So refreshing to hear a female vocalist that doesn’t fall into the category of Miley-pop, Bruni-folk, or Winehouse-whining (ba-dum-bup).

This track, ‘When I Grow Up’, is off her solo album Fever Ray. Hypnotic, icy-cool pop-synth with a primal touch. Are those whale sounds?
