One of my favorite bands of all time, The Cardigans, are releasing their hand-picked Best Of album during the last weeks of January. The cover is to the left! To celebrate, I have uploaded several of my own favorites. You all know them for “Lovefool,” perhaps the most unrepresentative song they have ever recorded. But don’t discredit them…They’re in a league of their own. Somewhat country-twang, a little folk, but yet too pop to be defined in either region, The Cardigans offer rich sounds in a variety of shapes and sizes ranging from heavier rock ballads to tediously swinging sea shanty-like odes. Luckily, PopJustice has uploaded a clip of Kleerup’s (Robyn’s “With Every Heartbeat,” anyone?) remix of “Erase/Rewind,” which gives it a smooth, industro-electro sheen. To hear the new mix, click here.
