Fever Ray's self-titled debut is a landmark of isolationist electronic music, characterized by its stark soundscapes and Andersson's haunting, cavernous vocals. The album cemented Fever Ray as a singular voice in contemporary electronic music.
- The album was recorded in Stockholm, Sweden, in a room with no windows, contributing to its claustrophobic atmosphere.
- "If I Had a Heart" was the lead single, later famously used in the opening credits of the television series "Vikingos."
- Despite its dark themes and abrasive sound, the album was a critical and commercial success, reaching number 17 on the Swedish charts.
