Review

I'm totally digging 'The Rest Of The Best (Vol. 1)' from The Cardigans - it's this sweet dive into their musical vault that feels like finding a secret diary from an old friend! The Swedish indie-pop darlings curated 20 tracks of their own B-sides and rarities spanning 1994-2006, all arranged chronologically so you can hear how their sound evolved. From early demos like 'I Figured Out' to their quirky covers of 'The Boys Are Back In Town' and 'Mr. Crowley,' plus that dreamy 'Lovefool (Puck Version)' that hits different from the radio version we all know. Martin Bogren's photography ties everything together visually, creating this intimate package that feels both nostalgic and fresh at the same time - it's like the band is personally inviting us into their creative process between the albums we already love. - Zara
