Peter Bjorn and John - Writer’s Block

The Stockholm trio of Peter Moren, Bjorn Yttling, and John Eriksson scored a European hit with their delightfully amateurish “Young Folks” single, included here complete with whistling and bongos. The rest of their second album, a fully realized fusion of intelligent songwriting and innovative production, is equally enchanting. Moren’s “Objects Of My Affection” combines the rhythm, soul, and self-analysis of a ‘Rubber Soul’-era John Lennon composition with the atmosphere and melodic distortion of My Bloody Valentine, and Eriksson’s “Up Against The Wall” evokes Blur’s early Syd Barrett-influenced songs.
