What happened next?
The Cardigans returned recording after a break and released their fifth album Long Gone Before Daylight (2003). Their last album Super Extra Gravity (2005) displays a continuation of the country influence, infused by pop sensibility and a further maturing of their sound. After a 2006 tour, the band embarked on a five-year break from musical activities before reuniting in 2012 to play several concerts. They have sold over 15 million albums worldwide. Post-hiatus shows since 2012 have been with Oskar Humlebo on guitar instead of Svensson.
