Release Notes:
A Camp -- Cardigans chanteuse Nina Persson with husband (and
Shudder To Thinker) Nathan Larson and fellow Swede Niklas
Frisk -- are set to release a second album Colonia, following
2001's eponymous debut. On it, the trio's joined by a number
of guest musicians -- ex-Dambuilder and late-period GVB
drummer Kevin March, Joan Wasser (aka Joan As Police Woman),
Nicolai Dunger, and James Iha -- but what sticks out most is
Persson's expressive, always comforting voice. Fittingly, we
spoke with her about the lyrics and ideas behind album track
"Love Has Left The Room," which debuts in this week's Drop.
The song depicts lost love as something that literally gets
lost or slips the mind ... disappears. You also sing about
embers, after a flame dies out. Embers take a long time to
extinguish. That said, how much of a trace lingers after love
leaves? In the context of the song (or according to your own
life belief), is it ever truly entirely gone?
Well, I really think that a lot of traces remain after love
has left the room, and the song is about a love that left
without a really clear ending, so that's probably even worse!
No closure ... sucks. But in my experience, love can certainly
also disappear completely. I have a few exes that I'd rather
die than be with again, and some that became very very close
friends after we tried to have a sexual relationship.
When love finally does leave the room, where does it go?
It goes to the sky bar at the Mondrian in LA and fucks with
someone else.
