Review: Fågelle :: Den svenska vreden

<!–

–>

“The Swedish Anger” is the translation of the title of Klara Andersson’s second album as Fågelle. Then she mediates between Nordic reservation and very universal anger. As an inspiration for her music, she cites free jazz and punk legend Joakim Thåström, who even stopped by to visit the studio of the artist, who now lives in Berlin.

After their debut HELVETESDAGAR mixed up noise, ambient, drone metal, dark folk, performance pop reminiscent of Jenny Hval and a few Sigur Rós throwbacks, the eleven tracks of DEN SVENSKA VREDEN bring the leitmotif of inner pissed off with increased formal severity expression and make more concessions to conventional songwriting.

But even when Andersson follows the formulas of morbid folk or depri alto rock, they are framed by grueling sounds, by drones and crackles – as if the rage would break through the surface at any moment from the unconscious. A depressing, almost crushing album, always on the verge of exploding.
