The Cardigans in 1996 about why they started making music | Interview | TMF

Описание: The Cardigans are a Swedish pop-rock band formed in 1992 in Jönköping, Sweden. Known for their blend of melodic pop, indie rock, and smooth jazz-inspired elements, the band gained international recognition in the mid-1990s with their unique sound and stylish aesthetic.

The lineup features Nina Persson (vocals), Peter Svensson (guitar), Magnus Sveningsson (bass), Bengt Lagerberg (drums), and Lars-Olof Johansson (keyboards/guitar). Their breakout album Life (1995) introduced their whimsical, retro-pop style, but it was the 1996 release First Band on the Moon—featuring the global hit “Lovefool”—that made them a household name, especially after the song was featured in Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet.

Despite their early image as a soft, quirky pop band, The Cardigans evolved into a more mature and darker sound with albums like Gran Turismo (1998), featuring hits like “My Favourite Game” and “Erase/Rewind.” Their music balances catchy melodies with introspective lyrics and refined production.

After periods of hiatus, the band has reunited for tours and remains beloved for their sophisticated style, genre-blending sound, and Nina Persson’s distinctive voice.
