Details: Review [The Cardigans shed] their tired ’60s-isms in favor of blissfully kitschless trip-hop. — Entertainment Weekly[The Cardigans swap] blissful kitsch for grim reality…. Singer Nina Persson sounds less coy on these poignant, atmospheric plaints, suffused with atmosphere and trip-hop leanings. — USA Today Amazon.ca Oh my, they hated « Lovefool » so much. As they’d started out as Scandinavian miserablists, the hugeness of the fluffy « Lovefool » merely served to remind The Cardigans of what they really loved; and so Gran Turismo is a triumphal home-coming to the Void. Still, Gran Turismo just can’t help being an incredibly classy pop treat. Dear God, they know what to do with a chorus. Take « Erase And Rewind »: played on an acoustic guitar it would sound pleasant, certainly, but not the kind of song that has you jamming your head in the speakers and yelping. But with a grossly distorted bass here; a processed vocal there; a judicious pause just before the chorus comes in–oh hot mamma! Play your pop manna to me! That key-shift in « Hanging Around »–it’s cleverer than Heinz Wolff using Big Blue to prop open a door! And let’s not forget how Iggy Pop would kill a car with his teeth for « My Favourite Game ». –Caitlin Moran
