The Cardigans/Nina Persson/A Camp

[Maurice E]

Anyone heard Nina's new 'A Camp' thing?
I thought the last album was fantastic. Possibly the best thing she's ever done.
The Cardigans were a great band, at least theoretically, but never really reached their full potential.

Here are their 10 best songs;
For what it's worth (I love you)
Carnival
Blah blah blah
Sick and tired
Daddy's car
Nasty sunny beam
Favourite game
If this is communication
You're the storm
Suits me very fine

So "Life" appears to be their best album..

 

[Bigmouth]

it's probably just because Im a swede {} - but I love the cardigans.
perhaps to pop-ish, but still in that new swedepop era during 1993-99 - at the same time UK had britpop.

And just like YOR, A Camps new album Colonia has leaked: http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4642601/A_Camp_-_Colonia_[mp3-vbr-2009]

I havn't heard it yet, but it should be {at least} OK

It's brilliant! The adorable Nina Persson hasn't done a single bad thing in her life!

Ah yes. I have a bit of a thing for the gorgeous Miss Persson too. She is also something of a Moz fan which is always a fine quality in a woman! Asked which song described her best, she said 'Wide to Receive'.
The last two Cardigans albums weren't great but the sublime 'For What It's Worth' could be one of my own personal, favourite, all-time songs (of all time).

well, once she acted in a film [om gud vill 2006]- and it wasn't to successful

but you're right. know that I've listened to "colonia" I can see the lyrical brightness in her voice. And Nathan Larson plays [I think] a huge role in the music itself. The first single "stronger than Jesus" can sound quite ordinary, but when one has heard the chorus more than once; you fall in love with it.
The best thing with A Camp, is Nina Perssons personal space - she can allow herself a musical freedom.
In the cardigans - she was the "front-man", but not so dominant as in this solo-works of her.
None of you probably heard Ninas first Solo-work, the album "A Camp" -
now that is a great sound.

and she do love Morrissey

Of course I did, sometimes I'm still humming in the bathroom, "I'm a frequent flyer, a notorious liar..."
There's so much beauty and melancholy in her voice.

I posted this gem on my tumblr the other week: The Cake Sale feat. Nina Persson - Black Winged Bird

 

[Maurice E]

heard Nina's new single on Radio 2 last night (Radcliffe/Maconie).
was pretty impressed. looking forward to the album which I think comes out on Feb 2nd...

 

[still ill life]

I think that "Gran Turismo" is a really underrated album. It's really good overall, when you get into it.
