Karin Dreijer Instagram – Dreijer began publicly using they/them pronouns around 2018 and ever since they’ve learnt to understand themselves better.
And beyond gender binaries, therapy and an ADHD diagnosis has helped them understand how they perceive and function in the world as they continue to confront their issues with fear and confidence.
“I don’t like to be afraid of things. I have to overcome them. This has taken years, but it’s a good practice.”
Fever Ray speaks to a conception of gender and selfhood that feels increasingly salient. In deconstructing and making new pop and electronic textures, and complicating the human voice, Dreijer also complicates societal defaults, the deeply embedded norms.
“I am part of a long history of storytellers in queer performance. I’m very grateful to be just one author in that history.”
