We spoke to the Swedish musician about his newest album.

As colder winds begin blowing and we hunker down for a nor'easter, it's important to maintain a stockpile of electricity-free distractions. Forget the canned beans and dry milk. I'm talking the classics, people. Classic literature. What better way to pass the time than tackling Tolstoy by candlelight. Sure, gathering with friends around your favorite whiskey can whittle away a few hours, but ask yourself, what will you after everyone passes out? In honor of my most favored tradition of reading when there's nothing else, I present you with Huck Finn's synthed-out circus ride. The Swiss outfit [...]

Unfortunately, we don't have a Peter Bjorn & John album announcement for you, but we do have news almost as exciting - the trio will be one of several of your favorite acts to hit Nick Jr.'s Yo Gabba Gabba this season, and they've contributed a song that captures a sentiment I'm sure will resonate with everyone's inner five-year-old, "I Wish I Was A Spy." It's only two minutes long and definitely very kid-friendly, but it's got all your favorite PB&J elements - Peter Moren's singular voice, a serpentine, Bond-like guitar riff, [...]

Since 20112s Gimme Some , Peter Bjorn & John have been kicking around in various combinations and doing sundry things: The covered the Strokes for our STROKED comp as a unit; Björn released music as Smile (with Teddybears’ Joakim Ahlund); the three re-teamed to lay down a remix of Norah Jones's Danger Mouse collabo "Miriam"; and chances are, probably other life activities that don't come up via a search of our tag archives. But this here is the first bit of new and previously unreleased studio music the Swedish [...]

Stereogum After a February protest/performance at a Russian Orthodox church, three members of the Russian feminist punk band Pussy Riot are facing years in prison for the charge of "hooliganism motivated by religious hatred." They've been in the news a lot lately, and we'll soon learn whether the international outcry to free them had any effect. In the meantime, electroclasher Peaches has recorded a new track called "Free Pussy Riot" in solidarity. And the video, which doesn't seem likely to sway any Russian court functionaries, features footage from [...]

Yesterday we got to enjoy Norah Jones performing on Jay Leno which was a definite early week treat. Today we get to enjoy a remix of her track "Miriam" from by Peter Bjorn and John . Check out what the trio have done with the track over on Stereogum .

A little while ago, we heard a new single called " Time To Time " from the minds of Joakim Ahlund (Teddybears) and Björn Yttling (Peter Björn & John), who have formed the all-Swede indie pop superduo Smile. They've got an album out this week, and today we're sharing the vertigo-inducing clip for "Eating Dirt," a glowing electronic instrumental. Watch below. Read More...

What do you get when a couple of Sweden's brightest musical lights step away from their primary projects and come together under a new band banner? In the case of Joakim Ahlund of electro auteurs Teddybears and Björn Yttling of indie-pop heroes Peter Bjorn & John, you get Smile, a duo that incorporates elements of both [...]

Everyone's favorite indie-rock-whistlers Peter, Bjorn, and John  have just released a remix of the track "May Seem Macabre", from their last album Gimme Some . The track comes to us by way of New Zealand, where a young kiwi by the name of Nik Brinkman has been writing for a project called Junica. Nik is quick to point out that he draws a lot of inspiration from 80's and 90's music/culture, and that's easy to hear. The dreamy melodies and electro-beats have a nostalgic feel, but never [...]

Por otro, Peter Björn & John , banda que todos conoceréis gracias a su famosísimo “Young Folks” . Y por último, una de las sensaciones de la electrónica actual, Miike Snow , que acaban de lanzar Happy To You [...]

I know it's no secret that Swedish music is my own personal kryptonite so it's no shock that I love Peter Bjorn & John.
