This March Fever Ray will return with new album Radical Romantics, their first project since 2017. So far Karin Dreijer has shared the singles "What They Call Us" and "Carbon Dioxide." The upcoming album is not just the first Fever Ray project in a minute but also the first time Dreijer has worked with their brother, Olof, since their time together as The Knife.

New song "Kandy," streaming below, is one of four Radical Romantics tracks Olof co-produced and co-wrote, marking the first time the siblings have produced and written music together in eight years. The accompanying video is an homage to The Knife's "Pass This On" visual and sees the siblings appear on the same set they used in 2003.

In a statement, Olof says: "I tried to tune in as much as possible into Fever Ray vibes and tried many different styles, or clothes as I usually say when I talk about different music production suggestions. But in the end we took out the same synthesizer, the SH101, used for The Knife track, ʻThe Captain,ʼ and it just worked!"
