The Cardigans - Long Gone Before Daylight album cover | |||||||||||||||
Long Gone Before Daylight is the fifth studio album by The Cardigans. After a long hiatus from their last album in 1998 (with members of the band experimenting with other projects), it was finally released in Japan on March 19, 2003 and in Europe on March 24, 2003. Later it was also released in Canada (April 22, 2003) and in North America (May 25, 2004). The album differs from the earlier works of the band. Their familiar "happy" pop sound takes on a change to pop songs with more of an American country music influence. It is relatively a much darker album than their previous works, and more quiet than the noisier Gran Turismo. Indeed, even lead singer Nina Persson dyed her once light blonde hair to a jet black, reflecting the change of mood of the band.
Criticism was mixed. Some found the change of direction welcome, and felt the band had matured, making songs that were even better than other experienced country-pop styled artists. Others missed the old pop sound, and accused the band of possibly being ashamed of their former "happy" pop sound. The first single of the album, "For What It's Worth" was released in February 17, 2003. The second single was "You're the Storm" released in June 2, 2003. The third and final single was "Live and Learn" released in December 3, 2003. Track listing: All songs written by Nina Persson and Peter Svensson. 1. "Communication" – 4:28 2.
