Friends,
Following my series of episodes on horror, now we turn to another form of art that plays on in our astral world, that world of emotions and the heart: MUSIC. For a few episodes, I’ll be talking about music with some of my favorite musicians. But these won’t be the standard chats about the latest album or touring; instead, we’ll talk about music itself and how it lives in the lives of these artists, my life, your lives, and life itself.
Each episode will also feature a spotify playlist here in the show notes, with some of my favorite songs by the featured artist. The first episode, AEWCH 237, featured Will Oldham AKA Bonnie “Prince” Billy, and the second, AEWCH 238, Ian Lynch from the Irish trad-meets-drone-and-folk-horror band, Lankum.
This time, I turn to my favorite singer, NINA PERSSON, best known as the front person for the Swedish pop rock band, THE CARDIGANS. Nina is also involved in many other amazing projects, notably A CAMP (with her husband, Nathan Larson) and her recent collaboration with James Yorkston.
Nina is my very favorite live singer, so I am so, so excited to share this episode with you.

Here’s an absolutely incredible performance by Nina Here’s a long documentary on The Cardigans – I’m not sure how official it is, but it collages many clips and performances across the careers of everyone in the band. And of course, who could forget The Cardigans on Beverly Hills 90210?
