Fever Ray review by (fake) Rove McManus

I have pretty crap bands on my show. I guess that's because my music knowledge is like my understanding of comedy: limited. Lowest common denominator. I don't get this Fever Ray album. It all sounds the same. Like Cyndi Lauper but dark and brooding. God I miss Belinda. There's a song about loneliness and she says something about covering our heads. I liked that bit. I don't know what it means but I like it. It makes me sad. Apparently she's from a band I've never heard of called The Knife. They sound really violent. This isn't violent. I heard it was Triple J album of the week. Belinda's album wasn't; they're too cool. I did some research on the net and everybody seems to like this CD so I guess I do too but I don't think I'd have her on my show. I'd tell Karen to "say hi to your mum for me" but she sounds like she might not have one. I listened to an interview with her here but she had a funny accent; so did the guy interviewing her. He sounded like a Scottish comedian I heard once. I think it's all made with synthesizers and computers but it's not like Cut Copy. Say "hi" to your mum for me.
