The Cardigans Matters
Coming through the fire that was 1996\u2019s First Band on the Moon, today, The Cardigans remain one of those bands that became suddenly popular with their third life-changing album. Of its many celebrated singles, \u201cMy Favourite Game\u201d made them instantly famous, thanks to MTV \u2013 today\u2019s Twitter/ Instagram reality, all of which threw them into a vortex of pop mayhem. \u201cErase/Rewind\u201d swiftly followed while the hurricane raged on. Fast forward to album four, 1998\u2019s Grand Turismo \u2013 that was when I got to spend 10 precious minutes with keyboard and guitar player Lars-Olof Johansson. We spoke about the journey, part four for Sweden\u2019s favourite band of their generation, one of a six-part rollercoaster ride we know and love to this day.
