Fever Ray’s cover of Peter Gabriel’s “Mercy Street” will be available soon as a 7″ on Rabid Records, and next month on Mute in North America. Karin Dreijer Andersson says:
“We made it more intense and faster to fit our excentric pecussionists and energetic live musicians. It’s a monotone track but we work with the dynamics trying to make it sparkle. I listened to it a lot when I was around 15, it still moves me. Made me start reading Anne Sexton too.”

I like this song! The “dream sequence” effect in the background did it for me…the singing was just the cherry on top. =)
