I'm guessing she's on a lot of hard drugs?
Fever Ray has always been far left though. It's got nothing to do with selling out in her case.
What went so wrong with Fever Ray...

She's always been a feminist. Her social and political views were subtle in her early material with The Knife, but as their discography went on those views became more apparent and obvious, culminating with Shaking The Habitual.

some people are actually feminists you know, believe it or not it's especially common in women. also feminism at its core is something that nobody reasonable should have any issue with, and you shouldn't conflate the female supremacist wackjobs with feminism as a concept

Fever Ray and her brother have always been leftists. Their first albums were very political, especially Silent Shout.
However in the 00s looking like a post-modernist, decadent freak was not a thing, somehow. The aesthetics weren’t completely twisted: most relevant leftist musicians still looked like people and weren’t trying to make themselves hideous for shock purposes. The music was also significantly better, though I don’t think the new Fever Ray record, sonically, is really much worse than her first one (it’s the same type of dark synthpop really) — I think people are just turned off by the ugliness of it all and I understand completely. These days the leftist music scene is full of really disgusting looking people like Arca, who probably eats feces daily, and Sophie. Even Björk has resorted to disgusting aesthetics.

I think society needs to start differentiating between feminism and what appears to be a sort of self-destructionism that women engage in as a reaction to society.
Feminism should be about celebrating gender differentiation, and the things that women naturally are.
Fever Ray is now about smearing makeup all over your face, deliberately looking like shit and making whiney awkward music in a gigantic tantrum that is a reaction to something. That isn't feminism. I think it's probably because Karin is obviously now a bit of a dyke and doesn't like being shoehorned into the role of being a straight woman, she feels like she's more something between a man and a woman.
The tantrum behaviour I suppose is some kind of catharsis from the inner tension of somebody whose sexuality isn't fully aligned with their body.
I think all of this is being caused by pesticides and plastics messing with people's hormones.

Shaking the Habitual is meta-feminism
Trite, obvious feminism would be Plunge
