Album
Long Gone Before Daylight
The Cardigans
Released:
Label:
Polydor Associated Labels
Staying true to the album's wistful title, the Cardigans forsake their customary pop for introspective slowcore that's too busy navel-gazing to throw fans many hooks. But change is good: surprising tracks like "A Good Horse" plunge straight into rock territory, while Nina Persson's airy voice sounds stronger than ever.
