Albumism’s 50 Best Albums of 2017 | #49: Fever Ray’s ‘Plunge’

December 1, 2017 Albumism Staff

#49
Fever Ray | Plunge
Rabid/Mute | Official Store | Amazon | iTunes

According to Liz Itkowsky: “At its core, Plunge is an album about sex; yet at the same time, completely unsexy. The intentional avoidance of rote female sexuality is refreshing. Dreijer’s strict adherence to stripping her work of intimacy creates a blank canvas for big ideas. Even with a dancefloor dose of mainstream appeal, she does her best to make you sit up and listen. Dreijer creates music that is alienating and alluring at the same time, a perfect tension to get her point across. Nothing is romanticized on Plunge. Instead it’s just honest, occasionally bleak, and irrefutably human.”
