Nov 24, 2017Plunge is a sonic immersion into joy and terror, love and sex, beauty and crudeness, humor and politics, with Karin's unique voice combined with rhythms and synths coming back and forth, intense melodies and intelligent lyrics. Definitely worth the wait.

Oct 30, 2017What an incredible album after an 8 year hiatus. She came back stronger, ‘Plunge’ is a stronger, more cohesive and more accesible record, and it’s haunting all the way to the end.

Dec 3, 2017Even with an overall distinctive and cool use of synthetic sound, this work had little in the way of strength, with very dull pitch collections and melodic layers that were prevalent yet under-developed, leaving quality and enjoyment to be salvaged by the several points where vocals weren’t being featured. My Score: 117/180 (Good) = 6.5/10

Nov 8, 2017This sounds like it could have been the next work of The Knife.
I didnt expect it to sound like this (especially after being hooked on the first record for a good amount of time) and i was definitely happily surprised.
Thumbs up! -
Feb 6, 2018Energetic and different, but as dark as the first album. Short lyrics, but strong and full of meaning. From politics to intimate urges, Karin continues to amaze in her queerness, weirdness and uniqueness.

Dec 8, 2017So very good. After the first album I had high expectations for this one, and i wasn't disappointed. Lots of very good songs on this album. Keep 'em comin' Karin.

Mar 3, 2019'Plunge' displays an exceptionally unique atmosphere for listeners. It discusses identity issues, relationship, love, and sex. 'Plunge' includes exciting tracks such as "Wanna Sip" and "This Country", both of which deliver strong messages and are the album's main highlights.

Nov 20, 2021Innovative, weird sensual return. It's a thrilling adventure that takes sensuality ,politics and love. Stocked with strange beats and banshee vocals.

Jan 5, 2018Peder Mannerfelt, Paula Temple and NÍDIA are among the producers who worked on ‘Plunge’, bringing 150bpm batida rhythms and searing rave stabs to one of 2017’s most thrilling LPs.

Jan 5, 2018From Wanna Sip’s opening videogame blitzkrieg to the Blade Runner drones of Mustn’t Hurry, Plunge is a complete thrill.
