Gran Turismo

The Cardigans

A cold, precision-engineered pivot into dark electronic pop. Distorted guitars and breakbeats meet Nina Persson's most detached, haunting vocal performances.

Moments Worth Listening For
The aggressive, overdriven guitar riff that kicks off My Favourite Game, signaling the band's hard pivot from lounge pop.
The claustrophobic, dry vocal delivery in Erase/Rewind that feels like Nina Persson is whispering directly into your ear.
The way the electronic percussion on Paralyzed creates a sense of mechanical dread that never quite resolves.
