I've been a huge fan of The Cardigans for almost 10 years now. From "Life" up to "Long Gone Before Daylight," they've managed to mature as a band both musically and lyrically. Lead singer Nina Persson and guitarist Peter Svensson have morphed into a superb songwriting team, with Nina handling lyrics and Peter the music. Here, for your listening (dis)pleasure, is their KCRW (acoustic) show from May 24th, 2004. I managed to see them live the next night at The Troubador in Santa Monica, and what an amazing show that was.
