...lengthy intermission, The Cardigans began their set with a powerful rendition of "Marvel Hill," a bittersweet song about ambivalence from Gran Turismo.

The songs are Dad's--Moon River and others--with their mix of sophistication and schmaltz. Tart strings help keep Monica on the right side of the equation. The new label is PBS Records: music to drive Volvos...
