Watch The Peter Bjorn And John Young Folks Video Now
Ah, Sweden. The land where everyone is naked, beautiful, able to sustain themselves on crackerbread and salty fish and bless with the ability to turn a tree into 36 pieces of affordable furniture within an hour.
Peter Bjorn And John are just about as Swedish as it gets, and their new single Young Folks features Victoria Bergsman from The Concretes, a woman so Swedish she makes Ulrika Jonsson look like an angry fishwife from Bedfordshire. Young Folks by Peter Bjorn And John, however, speaks mainly in the international language of shuffling lo-fi indie groove.
And Young Folks by Peter Bjorn And John is a wonderful thing, too, with a whistled hook that's catchier than MRSA after an afternoon spent hanging out with Leslie Ash and a go-go beat that's guaranteed to make you think you're five times hipper than actually are. England would have lost the World Cup just as easily if Peter Bjorn And John were in charge, but with Young Folks they'd make you smile so much that you'd quickly forget how much you wanted to slap Frank Lampard.
