Fever Ray: Sometimes, you have to expose yourself to the things you’re afraid of

"That [love] takes time and commitment, and you have to dare to show yourself being vulnerable. It’s a huge risk, because you can be rejected” - Karin Dreijer of Fever Ray says to Dazed about their forthcoming album 'Radical Romantics'. In between her last and this album, Dreijer was diagnosed with ADHD - “I learned that, with ADHD, you probably are more sensitive to stress. It’s common to be driven by doing fun stuff, and it can be hard to know your limits.” Dreijer got into therapy which was “so, so scary; it can be really horrible,” but “sometimes, you have to expose yourself to the things you’re afraid of.”
