Super Extra Gravity is The Cardigans' sixth album. It was produced by Tore Johansson who last worked with The Cardigans on Gran Turismo and since then with the band Franz Ferdinand. The album was released in Germany and Ireland on October 14, 2005 and in the UK on October 17, 2005. A Japanese edition has since been released. The first single released was "I Need Some Fine Wine and You, You Need to Be Nicer". The second single was "Don't Blame Your Daughter (Diamonds)." It was said that "Godspell"—the lyrics of which reference a conservative religious mentality common to the band's hometown of Jönköping—would be the third single, but plans for its release fell through.

[edit] Singles

I Need Some Fine Wine And You, You Need To Be Nicer (8 October 2005, #59 UK)
Don't Blame Your Daughter (Diamonds) (6 February 2006, not released in UK)

  • It was planned to release "Don't Blame Your Daughter (Diamonds)" in the UK in April 2006, but this was cancelled due to the poor performance of the album and first single there. Instead, a two-track digital single was released on iTunes in the UK.
  • Promos were sent to radio in Europe for "Godspell" as a third single from the album, but a full commercial release never happened.
