Martha, VIC, Australia: Moonlight Publishing. Myopic record companies who can't see the value of long‑term artist development should stop to consider the career of The Cardigans. Now on their fourth album, the band are currently Sweden's biggest music‑industry export earner, and have proved beyond doubt that the only way for a record company to transform a local act into an international one is to give it time to evolve and develop. The Cardigans' current status also, however, owes a great deal to another long‑term relationship — with producer Tore Johansson, who has produced all of the band's records since discovering them five years ago. Tore admits that the new method of working gave him one or two near heart failures. "I wasn't used to working with computers, and one morning, halfway through the recording, I couldn't find the music. Finally I found it hidden on a hard disk, but it was a couple of scary hours!" Games & Pastimes I guess there was a sense of the band taking this radical departure from their best-known work and trying something new. Whilst the album sold incredibly well, I feel there is this slightly sense of resignation from critics – many were hoping that the band would continue down their own path. When Pitchfork assessed Gran Turismo in 2008, they remarked the following: During the band's first break Nina Persson released an album as A Camp, and Peter Svensson and Bengt Lagerberg worked on the project Paus with help from Joakim Berg from Kent, and Magnus Sveningsson recorded as Righteous Boy.

Select 1998年11月 on the drop-down menu Peter Svensson and Magnus Sveningsson, both heavy metal musicians, formed the group on 31 October 1992 in Jönköping, Sweden, with drummer Bengt Lagerberg, keyboardist Lars-Olof Johansson and lead singer Nina Persson. [4] Persson did not want to be a musician growing up, having an interest in art instead, which resulted in her attending art school. "I never really strived to be a musician; I was just, sort of, recruited into this band. I was bored out of my mind in this small, safe place (Jönköping). I was like, 'Awesome, I get to hang with fun guys.'" [5] Kot, Greg (29 October 1998). "The Cardigans: Gran Turismo". Rolling Stone. Archived from the original on 14 November 2007 .

It is a shame the band have not recorded another album since 2005; Nina Persson recorded a solo album, Animal Heart, in 2014, but there has been very little from her since then. I will move on soon but, before then, I want to bring in a final article that gives some to Gran Turismo.

She remains a fabulous frontperson and if she’s disappointed by the closed balcony and the hall’s empty spaces, it doesn’t show. “Look at you, Manchester!” she yells. With guitarist Oskar Humlebo ably replacing Peter Svensson (who declined the reunion) and the sound ever improving, the country-tinged Junk of the Hearts doesn’t sound out of place in today’s world of Taylor Swift et al. The music for Gran Turismo was composed by Cardigans founder member and guitarist Peter Svensson, while the lyrics were written by singer Nina Persson and bassist Magnus Sveningsson (the band's other co‑founder). Before going into the studio Svensson had written seven songs in a month, but he had no lyrics. He apparently expected to be in Country Hell for about a month. Unsurprisingly, the project ended up taking longer; it began on May 15 and was completed on July 15. New Directions Top Albums/CDs - Volume 68, No. 9: Nov 23, 1998". RPM.

Retrieved 1 June 2017.Our delicious waiting is made even more appetizing by the Cardigans "new" release, Gran Turismo. The sounds I hear disturb me, though. Where the Cardigans seemed so on top of their game on Last Band, Gran Turismo gives me a Nina that seems to have grown morose from her waiting. The light, sharply- arranged and smilingly ironic attitude that saturated their previous effort has metamorphosed into a self- concerned dragging effort devoid of the featherweight happiness that the Cardigans have been notable for.
