Fever Ray is crazy.

So I recently discovered that Karen Dreijer Andersson, lead singer of the Knife, released a solo album under the name of Fever Ray in 2009. If anyone could give Lady Gaga a run for her money, its Karen.

This is from January 27th at the Swedish P3 Guld awards where she accepted an award for best dance artist.



I'm not sure if it's supposed to make a statement as Lady Gaga claims her costumes do, or maybe she's just making fun of her. I hope its the latter and that Lady Gaga and her begin a feud. They can insult each other through song and video like Nelly Furtado and Fergie did. Or maybe they can just breakdance at each other.

Such is my dream.
