Lovefool was the first song Nina Persson ever wrote – and it became a global hit. She discusses the pressures of writing, and the difference a co-writer makes It's more than 15 years since the Cardigans first wrapped themselves around the world with Lovefool . The tongue-in-cheek sugar-sweet pop cupcake turned the band's singer, Nina Persson, into an international rock princess. For those who knew her growing up in smalltown Jönköping, Sweden, it seemed an unlikely role – she didn't listen to popular music till her mid-teens and when she joined the band, aged 18, she'd never sung on ...

A hymn to the NHS from the most unlikely of sources: a descendant of Virginia coal miners and maker of dreamy Americana Given the never-ending furore over government plans for the NHS, it's time to highlight what is surely the most beautiful – and perhaps the least likely – musical tribute to the UK's hospitals and the staff who work in them. Sparklehorse were, in effect, just Mark Linkous, the descendent of several generations of Virginian coal miners who made five gorgeous, dreamy albums over about a decade and a half from the mid-1990s. I write in the past tense ...

For the second instalment of our Monthly Musical Matter, we've come over all nostalgic at The 405. Oh, youth, fleeting, foolish and full of terrible, terrible decisions. How did I not become a famous footballer/thespian/singer? Why didn't I kiss that person? Or why the hell did I kiss that person? And why, oh why, did I listen to that!? Well, obviously, all of us here had impeccable music taste from an early age, crawling around to the sounds of bebop jazz and growing up to a soundtrack of post-punk and krautrock, but we wondered what embarrassing ...

Premiering at Sundance in 2011 and spending the rest of the year traveling to film festivals around the world and picking up a couple of awards along the way, "Here," starring Ben Foster and "Incendies" star Lubna Azabal is now settling in to hit theaters next month, and courtesy of Strand Releasing, we're happy to unveil the lovely poster for the film. Written and directed by filmmaker and music video helmer Braden King (he's worked with Sonic Youth, Chan Marshall, Will Oldham, Tortoise, Low, Yo La Tengo and Sparklehorse among others), the film chronicles a brief but intense ...

auch wenn der release des albums "nº1" bereits einige monate zurückliegt, so lohnt dennoch ein blick auf die oktober veröffentlichung des letzten jahres. und nicht nur wegen der tollen musik, die darauf zu finden ist, sondern und vor allem auch wegen der künstlerin, die man dahinter entdecken kann. es handelt sich um die in kansas city geborene christina vantzou , die allerdings bereits fast zehn jahre in brüssel lebt, wohin sie 2003 umgezogen ist. zuvor besuchte und absolvierte sie das maryland institute college of art in baltimore und beschäftigt sich seit jeher mit malerei und komposition. zeichnungen, bilder, animatationen, videos und ...

Sir Alexei Berrow's latest attempt to simultaneously explore the emotional crevices and depths of his broken lo-fi soul and stave off Birmingham City Council bailiffs is the second Yr Friends EP, Yr Friends Have Already Left . Written with soundtracking a projected post-apocalyptic New York drama in mind, the slo-mo early hours guilt is dipped in ragged electronics, bits of violin and self-harmonies influenced by Sparklehorse and Red House Painters. His band go on tour soon, as listed the last time we wrote about them . the last time i say don't leave without me, i'll probably mean it ...
