Product Description
Scorn, revenge, agnosticism and kinky sex; all this deviance may come as a surprise to the multitudes who bought into the fluffy easy-listening effervescence of The Cardigans' earlier material. Super Extra Gravity will, however, be less of a culture shock to long-term subscribers; The Cardigans - fans of black Sabbath, apparently, while other historical clues have pointed towards a fondness for The Stranglers - always had their darker side, the band's sound taking a turn down a more shadowy alleyway as long ago as the Gran Turismo album.
On Super Extra Gravity Sweden's finest set out to make something "twisted and spectacular". They achieve this - the bible-trashing "Godspell" sounds like Sheryl Crow riding the fairground ghost train while "Losing A Friend" takes the tenderness of the third Velvet Underground album and adds clumping drums and a torturous electric-shock guitar solo worthy of Jonny Greenwood - without losing sight of a winning pop melody. And what of the extraordinary "I Need Some Fine Wine And You, You Need To Be Nicer"? Has it anything to do with dog-training, booze and master / servant sexuality ? Eye-brow raising curiosities abound but Super Extra Gravity is a winning combination of the strange and beautiful. --Kevin Maidment
From the Label
One of Sweden's most successful pop exports since Abba, The Cardigans return with the excellent new album Super Extra Gravity. Produced by Tore Johansson who worked with Franz Ferdinand & previously with The Cardigans on Gran Turismo. Aside from the single "I Need Some Fine Wine...", other highlights include the sparse album opener "Losing A Friend", "In The Round", "Good Morning Joan" featuring a wall of guitars and the sad and beautiful "Don't Blame Your Daughter (Diamonds)". Every listen of the new record reveals another gem - The Cardigans have succeeded in their aim: to make a beautifully deranged album that never ceases to surprise the listener.
