THE REVIEW
Do you know those CDs that you play in the stereo the night before falling asleep, before daydreaming, and before dreaming? Well, "Long Gone Before Daylight" is one of those.
Five years after the good "Gran Turismo," the Cardigans release their new work, but we immediately feel that something has changed. After participating in an external project with Mark Linkous (Mr. Sparklehorse), Nina Persson heads towards a more guitar-driven sound: less electric and more acoustic. It's impossible not to fall in love (with her and) with her voice; impossible not to fall in love with her(?) sweet and profound lyrics that echo splendid ballads...
"Oh, my heart can't carry much more, It's really, really aching and sore, My heart don't care anymore, I really can't bear more… My hands don't work like before, I shiver and I scrape at your door, My heart can't carry much more... But you couldn't care less, could you?”
We breathe a wintery air, at times nostalgic, melancholic; it's a pity that not all the songs are like "Communication," "For What It’s Worth," or "Couldn’t Care Less"…
