* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
** The entirety of ''Silent Shout'', it's often regarded as a modern classic.
*** "The Captain", used quite fittingly in the beginning of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UY7Tge7ftxM trailer]] for ''WesternAnimation/{{Nine}}'', capturing the film's desolate tone.
* BrokenBase: Perhaps to be expected by the title but ''Shaking the Habitual'' has thoroughly split the fan-base, one side being completely enraptured and the other finding it a pretentious noisy chore.
* CoveredUp: The Jose Gonzalez cover of ''Heartbeats'' is probably better known than the origin
* CreepyAwesome: Almost everything they do, and ''literally'' everything Karin did in their first Fever Ray album.
* NightmareFuel: Karin has admitted that their husband is often leery about letting their kids listen to their music.
** Sure, "Na Na Na" ''sounds'' innocuous to begin with, but [[LyricalDissonance then you hear the lyrics]]:
--->I've got mace, pepper-spray\\
And some shoes that runs faster than a rapist rapes\\
What I need is chemical castrations, hope and godspeed
** "Silent Shout" has quite the memorably {{surreal|Horror}} music video, populated with people bearing [[UnintentionalUncannyValley vaguely inhuman]] and [[BodyHorror distorted]] faces soullessly lipsyncing to the song. The song itself even uses [[http://dreammoods.com/cgibin/teethdreams.pl?method=exact&header=dreamid&search=teethintro actual nightmare tropes]]:
--->In a dream I lost my teeth again\\
Calling me woman and half man\\
Yes in a dream all my teeth fell out\\
A cracked smile and a [[TitleDrop silent shout]]
** "Full of Fire" off ''Shaking the Habitual''.
*** Quite a few of the tracks off of ''Shaking the Habitual'' are filled with Nightmare Fuel, such as "A Cherry On Top", "Fracking Fluid Injection" and the 19-minute long "Old Dreams Waiting to Be Realized".
* ReclusiveArtist: Zig-zagged. They tend to shy away from press attention, but they've stated multiple times that they're open to interviews and have done a lot of them, but they just refuse ones that try to pry into their personal lives. Karin appears to be more amiable to interviews when they were promoting Fever Ray.
* SignatureSong: Either "Heartbeats", "Full of Fire" or "We Share Our Mother's Health", probably depending on when you first got into the band.
