Believe it or not vut it’s been ten years since Swedish pop/rock heavyweights THE CARDIGANS released their last studio album Super Extra Gravity. After spending a few years in hiatus, playing various live shows and lead singer NINA PERSSON releasing her solo LP Animal Heart chances aren’t that bad for a comeback record by the band. The group posted the following statement via Facebook:

It is flattering to see so many of you who want to see us play live, Thank you! However, we can’t do anything without real offers from concert/festivalagents. So unless such a person from Okinawa/Saskatoon/Belo Horizonte/ Nashville/Jakarta/Kiev call our people we can’t tour. A regular club-tour is most likely out of the question due to costs and families. At least for now.

However, we are discussing future recordings and ways to continue making music together, as The Cardigans. We feel very strong as a unit and we are having a lot of fun playing together. These last years of shows have been good for us. Big hugs to all of you and we will be back with exciting news in a near future!

Sounds like things might change for THE CARDIGANS soon. Labels and booking agencies of world, please unite.
