The Cardigans: First Band On The Moon, with Brian Kantor (part 1)

Update: 2023-05-02

Description

Nina Persson of the Cardigans is interviewed in this episode!

Brian Kantor returns to talk about The Cardigans' 1996 album First Band On The Moon.

Brian is friends and erstwhile bandmates with Nina, so they recorded a conversation about the album that we listen to on this episode.

Jason and Brian talk about drum sounds, bass note choices, dark lyrics wrapped in happy-sounding songs, if "Happy Meal II" is actually a happy song, the differences between this album and other 90s alternative hit records, and much more.

We'll be back soon with Part 2 of the conversation.
