Peter Bjorn And John — Living Thing

in
By Jen White (CHARTattack) April 2, 2009 1:36 pm
It was the curse of the whistle heard around the world. Peter Bjorn And John's "Young Folks" spurred such international acclaim that the Swedish trio retreated from their indie pop realm. Guitarist/vocalist Peter Moren released a quiet folk album and bassist/vocalist Bjorn Yttling produced some records, including Lykke Li's Youth...

Peter Moren — The Last Tycoon

in
By Jen White (CHARTattack) April 8, 2008 10:30 am
Moren is one-third of Swedish indie rockers Peter Bjorn And John, but is standing on his own on The Last Tycoon. He delivers a quieter, folkier sound on his solo debut, relying mainly on his voice and a guitar. Strings, synths, percussion and vibraphones also make appearances and, while there's no whistling a la "Young Folks," there's...

Peter Bjorn And John Go Darker In Toronto

in
By Cameron Gordon (CHARTattack) January 23, 2008 11:00 am
It was right around a year ago that Peter Bjorn And John's "Young Folks" was unleashed upon the North American public. With its tepid vocals and distinctive whistling chorus, the song definitely polarized listeners and yet somehow became a bona fide top 40 smash. Truth be told, Canada and the U.S. were late to the PB+J game. The Swedish...

Peter Bjorn And John Lead Pack Of Threesomes

By Matt Littlefair (CHARTattack) May 8, 2007 4:30 pm
Three acts, three members per band — that's pretty much where the symmetry ended, but it was enough to justify the headline. A Sunday night bill isn't ideal. The crowd is, by nature, exhausted from partying all weekend and reticent to stand and sweat over on sunny Sherbourne Street. But on this particular Sunday, dedication and patience paid...

Peter Bjorn And John — "It Don't Move Me"

It'd be kind of stupid NOT to have a dancer in Peter Bjorn And John's video for Living Thing's "It Don't Move Me." In the clip, a young guy practices his moves in his living room and at a gym before he and his friend relocate to a golf course so the dancer can dodge golf balls while doing his moves.

Here's Peter Bjorn and John's music video for "Lay It Down," the second single from Living Thing. The Swedish trio have started a trend of not featuring themselves in their videos, though they kinda make an appearance here — as masks. Many, many masks! There's a video floating around for third single, "It Don't Move Me," but...

Here's something to munch on during your lunch break: watch the latest video for "Nothing To Worry About" from Peter Bjorn And John's upcoming album, Living Things, due out on March 31. The vid's kinda weird, but entertaining nonetheless. Also, the song struck me as kind of odd at first, with the kids' choir vocals, but hot damn, it's...
