"What You Talking About?" Peter Bjorn and John Finally Return With New Single, Album Announcement

Music News, New MusicWeston PaganoComment

Endlessly endearing Stockholm indie pop trio Peter Bjorn and John have been taunting followers with hints of #PBJ7 for what seems like ages now, though with only last year's one off single "High Up (Take Me to the Top)" to satiate us in the long five years since 2011's Gimme Some there's been little from the band to show for it.

That all changed today, with the release of lead single "What You Talking About" and the announcement that #PBJ7 will finally arrive on 6/10, titled Breakin' Point and released via the rockers' own label INGRID they cofounded with fellow Swedes Miike Snow and Lykke Li. It seems safe to assume that the two tracks premiered on NPR's World Cafe last summer - one of which was called "Breakin' Point" - will also be on the LP.

Breakin' Point will feature production from some well-known names, including Paul Epworth (Paul McCartney, U2, Florence + the Machine), Greg Kurstin (Beck, Adele), and Emile Haynie (FKA Twigs, A$AP Rocky).

Check out "What You Talking About?" below, in all its upbeat, disco-vibe glory.
