When promo copies of "Super extra gravity" began making the rounds, some early reviews proclaimed it to be a complete departure from the band's last effort, the outstanding "Long gone before daylight". Stellar new single "I need some fine wine and you, you need to be nicer" does have a sense of urgency missing from "Daylight", and drummer Bengt Lagerberg does get more chances for his sticks to fly this time around. And yes, erstwhile producer Tore Johansson is back in the fold, speeding up tempos where he gets the chance. But don't be fooled. "Super extra gravity" is not a departure--it relies on the same talents and overall improvements in the band's sound evident after the long post-"Gran turismo" hiatus. Nina Persson's voice now has a warm, natural feel and range not heard on the icy "Gran turismo" or the lighthearted but flat "Life". Her improvement as a lyricist continues, especially on "Don't blame your daughter (Diamonds)", an ode to personal responsibility: "Don't blame your daughter/that's just sentimental/Don't blame your mom/for all that you've done wrong/Your daddy's not guilty/you came out a little faulty/and the factory closed." Like its predecessor, "Super extra gravity" features stripped-down instrumentation (guitars, bass, organ, drums) augmented by strings at opportune moments, but eschews the heavy synth sound of "Gran turismo" and the cutesy touches (bassoon, recorder, etc.) of the early albums. Songs like "Overload" and "Holy love" would fit right in on "Daylight". Unlike "Daylight", though, this one does run out of steam towards the end. "In the round" and "Good morning Joan" are forgettable, making this a very good album that's not quite as consistent as the one before it. If you get a chance, check out the woozy bonus track "Slow", the closest thing to Cardigans psychedelia I've heard yet.

The Margarets will go into the studio next week to record a cover of Roy Orbison's "Pretty woman" for use in director Hans Petter Moland's new film "Gynmaslærer Pedersen". The film is set to premiere in February.
Quoteth IAT contributor Jason Christie:
Either way it is immaterial when we put "Mopeds + Review" in the same bracket - you see, you'll know The Mopeds are no upstarts. It can be said they’re a well respected non-Stockholm band. They feature majestic trombonist and everyone's favourite producer/horn player Jens Lindgård (Bob Hund, The Cardigans, Eggstone, Tom Jones, Roxette, Ulf Lundell, St. Etienne, and many more. More recently you have heard them play with the band David & the Citizens and Damn!). Just Google "Jens Lindgård" for a long list of credits. The new disc, what's the deal?
No bloody idea. Have not listened!
Let's guess. The lazy taglines have them alongside fellow Pågs Brainpool and Eggstone, but we know The Mopeds will have gone all McFly on us instead! Mopeds parked up outside the US embassy of radio pop, MTV indie but then with attention to detail "Fortissimo" won't be knocked. They occupy peer status – check that list up above again.
"Fortissimo" will be fast, it'll be furious, it'll mess with your days and fill your nights. That's if you are done with first and second albums "The hills are alive with the sound of mopeds" or "The land of the three" - because without listening, rest assured the review will read positive. There are some things you can rely on.
Couldn't have said it much better myself, and I've actually heard the damn thing. Download a choice track from "Fortissimo" over on the right.
