Cardigans star Nina Persson attempts to show she’s more than just a pretty voice by following the path Polly Harvey beat to the studio door of Sparklehorse’s Mark Linkous and recording some moody ballads with her partner Nathan Larson of Shudder to Think. They may have gone to Woodstock with the idea of capturing that twisted Mercury Rev vibe, but the A Camp project turns out to be a much poppier proposition, not unlike a John-and-Yoko dalliance, which is far better than anyone could’ve hoped for a vanity project.
