Fever Ray, a.k.a. The Knife’s Karin Dreijer Andersson, will see her cover of Peter Gabriel’s ‘Mercy Street’ get a proper release next month.

The cover was made available as a free download last week at the NME, but now has been scheduled for release on Rapid Records on September 6, as a limited edition 7” and digital download. The single will be backed by album track ‘Dry and Dusty’.

In Andersson’s words, “it’s an interpretation. We made it more intense and faster to fit our eccentric percussionists and energetic live musicians. It is a monotone track but we worked with the dynamics trying to make it sparkle. I listened to it a lot when I was around 15, and it still moves me. It made me start reading Anne Sexton too.”
