The Cardigans first caught my (and everyone else in the United States') attention after "Lovefool" was included on the soundtrack for that dumb Romeo + Juliet film (the old language, updated with cars).However, they shouldn't be judged based on that song. They are a dynamic and interesting pop band that had little problem covering Black Sabbath's "Iron Man" with their soft, slowed swagger. As if it were their song.
The songs are great. Sassy and sexy. The basslines absolutely grove and they orchestrate with the lushness and levels of any big band and the danceability of a disco group.
The fact that they're Swedish makes them better.
The Cardigans recorded a couple albums afterwards and then took a break after six years of recording and touring. Now, they're back on a second hiatus. You kinda wonder if they're really into themselves as a group.
