  Fever Ray can announce that cellist Hildur Gudnadóttir will be opening the shows on the 2009 Finale Tour…

  One glimpse into Hildur Gudnadóttir’s discography is enough to reveal the breadth and versatility of the Icelandic cellist and composer’s musicianship. Included among her more high-profile works are collaborations with Angel and Pan Sonic, as well as guest appearances with fellow Icelanders múm and Jóhann Jóhannsson. In addition, she has supported Animal Collective on tour as a member of Stórsveit Nix Noltes, has composed music for theater, film, and dance, and has co-written a choir score with Throbbing Gristle for the Derek Jarmen film In the Shadow of the Sun.

  While she has consistently added a richness and emotional depth to these collaborative works, Gudnadóttir has only recently begun to branch out as a solo artist. Adopting the moniker Lost in Hildurness, she released her debut album, Mount A, back in 2007. It’s a highly reflective and exploratory work that beautifully showcases Gudnadóttir’s understanding and love for the cello’s expressive capabilities. On Without Sinking, her first release with Touch, Gudnadóttir drops her pseudonym and demonstrates an emerging confidence in her individual sound.

  When I Grow Up to be released

  

  In the lead-up to the stunning debut solo album, Fever Ray [http://ilike.com/artist/Fever+Ray/album/Fever+Ray (aka The Knife's Karin Dreijer Andersson) is set to release her second single 'When I Grow Up' on March 30th 2009 through Rabid Records/Cooperative Music in the UK.

  'When I Grow Up' is a slow-burning, beat-driven and strangely optimistic number characterised by Dreijer Andersson's inimitable lyrical style, name-checking forestry, boomerangs, crab claws and cucumbers in a surprisingly domestic picture.

  As well as a the title track, the release will also feature remixes by the likes of Van Rivers, Subliminal Kid (two producers from the album), Dan Lissvik (half of Studio) as well as mixes by Scuba, Hakan Lidbo and Par Grindvik.
