Fever Ray
MTelus
May 16, 2018
Fever Ray (Karin Dreijer) brought out all the stops for her show at MTelus last night, the first Fever Ray show in Montreal in nearly a decade. Touring in support of her sophomore album Plunge, the set was a kaleidoscopic sci-fi fever dream, featuring an all-female backing band, dancers in elaborate outfits (including one in a semi-sumo suit) and a hypnotic, laser-heavy light show, all in support of Dreijer’s queer-positive brand of genre-shifting rebellion music.
The entire 75-minute show was a well-choreographed piece of performance art that was truly unlike any other live show in recent memory. The set was fairly evenly split between her somber self-titled debut and 2017’s more upbeat Plunge LP, with the sexually charged recent single “To the Moon and Back” easily getting the loudest crowd reaction of the night.
