1 | * SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: |
2 | ** The entirety of ''Silent Shout'', it's often regarded as a modern classic. |
3 | *** "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. |
4 | * 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. |
5 | * CoveredUp: The Jose Gonzalez cover of ''Heartbeats'' is probably better known than the origin |
6 | * CreepyAwesome: Almost everything they do, and ''literally'' everything Karin did in their first Fever Ray album. |
7 | * NightmareFuel: Karin has admitted that their husband is often leery about letting their kids listen to their music. |
8 | ** Sure, "Na Na Na" ''sounds'' innocuous to begin with, but [[LyricalDissonance then you hear the lyrics]]: |
9 | --->I've got mace, pepper-spray\ |
10 | And some shoes that runs faster than a rapist rapes\ |
11 | What I need is chemical castrations, hope and godspeed |
12 | ** "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]]: |
13 | --->In a dream I lost my teeth again\ |
14 | Calling me woman and half man\ |
15 | Yes in a dream all my teeth fell out\ |
16 | A cracked smile and a [[TitleDrop silent shout]] |
17 | ** "Full of Fire" off ''Shaking the Habitual''. |
18 | *** 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". |
19 | * 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. |
