Fever Ray is back with a new single. “What They Call Us” is the first non-remix single from Fever Ray since 2017’s Plunge and arrives with an accompanying music video. The video—written and directed by Martin Falck—opens with shots of Karin Dreijer in an office setting, following them into a hazy jungle and eventually back to a haunting office party populated by zombie-like figures dressed in business casual attire. Watch it below.
“What They Call Us” was written and co-produced by Dreijer in collaboration with Olof Dreijer, their bandmate in the Knife. In 2018, the two collaborated on a remix of the Plunge song “Wanna Sip.” They also briefly revived the Knife namesake to release a remix of Björk’s “Features Creatures,” with Björk releasing her own remix of the Fever Ray song “This Country Makes It Hard to Fuck.”
