Literally the last blog on earth to mention the Fever Ray cover of Peter Gabriel's 'Mercy Street'

Fever Ray just needs to hiccup* and the entire blog world are in a froth writing about how amazing she is.

Problem here lies in that we are a blog in the blog world (we're almost quoting Aqua there) and we are currently frothing over how amazing the Fever Ray cover of Peter Gabriel's 'Mercy Street' is.

A track Fever Ray has been performing at her infrequent live shows, 'Mercy Street' is the most straightforward, accessible song in the Fever Ray arsenal (hahaha - 'arse'). We're guessing this is because an old pop singer wrote it, therefore limiting the opportunities to sing about watering plants and what she does on a weekend.

It is also interesting hearing what Karin Dreijer-Andresson can do in the field of 'simple pop music'. It is very close to being commercial - and for a woman who did something so awful at an awards ceremony that it couldn't be shown on the TV, 'being commercial' clearly isn't on the agenda.

So for fans of Fever Ray, here's something amazing. If you're yet to discover how amazing this woman is, 'Mercy Street' is the perfect 'hello there'.
