The Cardigans are a Swedish rock band that formed in Jönköping, Sweden, in 1992. The band was founded by guitarist Peter Svensson, bassist Magnus Sveningsson, drummer Bengt Lagerberg, keyboardist Lars-Olof Johansson and lead singer Nina Persson. Since their hiatus in 2012, the band has performed with Oskar Humlebo on guitar instead of Svensson.

With their unique sound blending pop and rock elements, The Cardigans have captivated audiences worldwide. Their music is often described as melodic and catchy, with Persson's distinctive vocals adding an extra layer of charm to their songs.

Influenced by various genres such as alternative rock and indie pop, The Cardigans have carved out a niche for themselves in the music industry. They have been compared to artists like Garbage, Natalie Imbruglia, No Doubt and Fiona Apple among others.

Gran Turismo is the fourth album by The Cardigans. It features a darker and more moody type of music, mixing with more electronic sounds. Paralyzed is about surrendering to love, giving up self control. It invites you to forget about reality and escape into the music. Erase/Rewind reflects on this idea of starting over - whether musically or romantically - with the metaphor of an old cassette tape. Explode is a dreamy ballad in which Nina Persson's silk voice and the warm electronic sound provide comfort for a confused person. Hanging Around expresses indecision, the lack of initiative, just waiting around until something happens.
