Peter Bjorn And John release 'Second Chance' digitally, on February 7th. 'Second Chance' is quirky and infectious and perfectly represents Peter Bjorn and John unqiue take on Pop. 'Second Chance' is taken from
their a new full-length studio album, 'Gimme Some' which is released on March 28th on Cooking Vinyl.
HERE is a viewing link for the brilliant 'Second Chance' video.
For their sixth album the band chose to work with a producer for the first time ever enlisting the skills of Per Sunding at Tambourine Studios in Malmö. For a band that has always produced their own albums, this is a big move and when asked about the choice in a recent interview with SPIN.com John Eriksson said, “ ‘We needed someone who can make us play differently, someone to remember to back up the hard drive [laughs].’”
'Gimme Some', a follow up to 2009’s more experimental 'Living Thing' release, is a definite return to Peter Bjorn And John’s pop roots. So the move to work with Per Sunding – a member of the now defunct Eggstone (a band that was once dubbed “the godfathers of Swedish pop”) seemed especially fitting. When SPIN.com asked Eriksson about the sound on the new album he said, “‘We originally planned to make a punk rock album, but listening to it now it’s definitely a pop rock album. But it sounds more punk rock when we play the songs live!’”
Celebrating the release of 'Gimme Some' Peter Bjorn & John will being performing a hat trick of UK shows ; London, Manchester and Glasgow.
