Sinister: As big as the Cardigans?!?

Surely B&S's sound is far too intimate to be huge. A song like "Get me
away from here, I'm dying" would be completely lost in a stadium.
They'll only get big if they beef it up, in the same way as the Divine
Comedy have become successful only since they got a 40 piece orchestra
in to record the Casanova album (which incidentally is fabulous). The
closest B&S have got to that so far was on LLPJ, which almost went top
40 as a result.
As for being too miserable to be popular, well OK so they're not ABBA
(hey shame!). But they're complete hedonists compared to Radiohead, and
OK Computer was a number one all over the world.
