Just the speed I reckon.  Doesn't match Mazzy Star for haunting beauty.

Did you end up with a "(Saturday Night) FEVER?" What you need is more cowbell (ok, tambourine in this case)!

Not sure if this is what you were looking for, but Orton does an incredible duet called Pass in Time on her Central Reservation album.

To add to the comparisons: listen to Carol van Dyk, lead singer of the Dutch indie-band 'Bettie Serveert'. Their album Lamprey is most excellent! Deserves attention from RP once and a while. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bettie_Serveert

I was just reading back through the comments and almost all of them say "She sounds like ...".  I was thinking Lucinda Williams and several others hear it too.

It's got to be a curse when people hear your music and they instantly think of someone else.
 
Or a compliment, if they are artists they aspire to be like.  I think for this song the comparisons come about because it sounds very different from the other well-known Cardigans songs — not as pop, more depth — which (at least for me) is unexpected from them. 

***BTW — my vote is for Mazzy Star
(but it was nicely paired today back to back with Neko Case - Deep Red Bells)

A little bit of Neko Case, too.

So,.a cop is driving down the freeway, when he sees an old lady driving while knitting a sweater! He pulls up alongside her and motions for her to pull over. What? she says. Pull over, shouts the cop!  No, she says...Cardigan!

It's interesting what people hear. My pick would be Sheryl Crow.

An interesting observation: Usually I listen to RP through my PC speakers at work, quietly as to not intrude upon my coworkers. The average song I rate around a 5 or 6 unless it's something I like a lot. However, every now and then I listen through my Shure headphones. Not as convenient because I can't hear the environment around me, such as the boss, etc. I have noticed that many songs I have previously rated a 6 sound like a 7 through the Shures. I think that being able to really hear a song as opposed to kind of hearing it at quiet volumes would automatically send the rating up one notch. This is probably obvious to many people, but this song really pointed it out to me. Must listen through the Shures more often.
 

Or you could by a pair of cans with open back - sounds generally better than both miniplugs and closed cans.
Plus you aren't isolated (whenever this is a good thing, work etc).

Sennheiser has a lot of good open ones. Personally I prefer the HD650 (or 600) - unbeatable for RP type of music.
When you later on are looking for even more pleasure, just get yourself a oldschool tube-phoneamp to hook up your Senns with your 128k AAC RP-broadcast. Now you're in heaven - music heard like never before.

Anyways, nice song!

I hear Lucinda in this vocal style on this song too. It's really nice, and the song stands on its own. It's not derivitive in any way imho.

I though I was listening to a female remix of 'The Cedar Room' by the Doves at first.

The singer sounds like Bettie Serveert, but not quite as good.
