瑞典电子音乐二人组 The Knife 成员 Fever Ray (aka Karin Dreijer) 宣布了一张新的现场专辑 "The Year of the Radical Romantics" 将于7月25日通过 Mute Records 发行, 并分享了一支新单曲 "Now's The Only Time I Know (Therapy Session)" 及其音乐录影带. 新闻稿摘录如下:

(July 8, 2025) - Fever Ray (aka Karin Dreijer) announces their new live album, The Year Of The Radical Romantics, out July 25th via Mute, and the accompanying The Year Of The Radical Romantics publication available for pre-order now. In conjunction with today’s announcement, Fever Ray presents the new single/video, “Now's The Only Time I Know (Therapy Session).”

The Year Of The Radical Romantics is a document of the juicy, throbbing missives used to woo crowds from Sydney to Seattle on the globe-trotting There’s No Place I’d Rather Be Tour in support of 2023’s lauded Radical Romantics. The new album consists of live-to-tape studio versions of tracks from Radical Romantics in addition to highlights from 2017’s Plunge and massive new iterations of early classics performed by the musicians who accompanied Dreijer on tour — Minna Koivisto on keyboards; Romarna Campbell on drums; Maryam Nikandish and Helena Gutarra on keytars and vocals.

Radical Romantics’ riotous, world-building videos introduced an unforgettable cast of characters. Accompanying Fever Ray (aka the white-suited Casanova) are wannabe-womanizer Romance, clockwatcher Main, witchy Snusis, and axe-wielding bombshell Demona Lisa. The Year Of The Radical Romantics offers a culmination of these character’s arcs with a pair of videos directed by longtime longtime Fever Ray creative visionary Martin Falck. The visuals find the misfits navigating group therapy sessions led by therapist Ebba. These sessions are soundtracked by blistering versions of fan favorites from Fever Ray’s beloved self-titled 2009 debut album: “I’m Not Done (Therapy Session)” and today’s single, “Now’s the Only Time I Know (Therapy Session).”

From therapist and human improvement and performance boosting guru Ebba:
"Hello…?

You left mid session… I really think you’re in big, big need of my services.
I want this room to be… a sacred place, for healing,
Fill my own cup like the holy grail.

Your lives seem to be falling apart…
it’s like you always want to go back there, drawn to the bottom of the ocean?”

The Year Of The Radical Romantics publication, designed and edited by Fever Ray and Falck, dives deeper into the creative process behind the making of the Radical Romantics universe. The publication showcases initial sketches and the trials and errors that shaped the iconic characters seen on stage, in photographs, and music videos. It also features press photography, cover shoots, editorials, and exclusive behind-the-scenes imagery captured by Fever Ray, the live band, and photographer Nina Andersson.

Falck says of the publication: “Creating the characters for the Radical Romantics era has been a true labor of love. Bringing them to life, watching them experience love, heartbreak, death, and even getting fired, has been an absolute joy. Working on this publication has given us a chance to reflect on our own creative process, and we’re so excited to share it with you.”
