The Cardigans worked on their new album in sporadic bursts, creating deadlines in order to capture the slightly-rushed, spontaneous feel of a jam session.
The soundtrack runs dayglo red with the work of contemporary artists mining the paisley vein, with some bona-fide artifacts thrown in for legitimacy’s sake.
An unfettered delight, as warm and comforting as the sweater from whence they got their name, and as sweet as Nina Persson’s snow-bunny smile on the cover.
