After 2006 saw their first UK release in the phenomenon that was 'Young Folks' and the critically-acclaimed album 'Writers Block', Peter Bjorn And John are starting to make up for lost time by releasing for the first time the albums 'Peter Bjorn And John' and 'Falling Out'.
'Peter Bjorn And John', the band's red album, is a charming affair, like the first steps of a love affair. It's an album where the band found its feet, worked out how to do things, so that their next step would be one step closer to the realisation of the band's vision.
The album marked the start of a new relationship for all three members of the band. From the start, the band knew what they wanted to do, if the beginnings saw a slightly hazy vision.
'Falling Out' represents the closest the band have come to recreating their live sound on record. It's also Peter Bjorn And John angry and bitter. It's a break-up record, and as is often the case, these emotions make for a brilliant record, with the band channelling the energy into their songs and creating at times something sweeping and grandiose. Recorded at Christmas, there's a chill to the record that makes it all the more affecting.
'Falling Down' is released with tracks that made up the 'Beats, Traps And Backgrounds EP' which includes live favourite '(I Just Wanna) See Through'.
Look out for the band when they return to the UK in 2007, as well as the re-release of 'Young Folks'.
