Peter Bjorn And John

peterbjornandjohn_logo


I discovered an awesome band yesterday from Sweden called “Peter Bjorn and John“. I don’t why I haven’t heard them yet but those days are over now. The tone and texture of the lead vocals are terrific, like a mixture of Neil Finn and Liam Gallagher. Do yourself a favor and go Listen to their music. “Young Folks” is a really cool track and then there are a lot of moments off of the new “Living Thing” record to check out such as “Objects Of My Affection.” I love the lyrics in that Objects Of My Affection track – “I am more me” – nice one guys. There is a measure of the sensibilities I like from The Beatles so much that is present in their songwriting and melody structure. Here is their link for iTunes. Enjoy!

Album: ARM CHAIR DELUSIONS
Categories: albums, music, new releases

Arm Chair Delusions Cover Art

Album:

Arm Chair Delusions

Release Date:

August 30, 2008

Summary:

This debut album thoughtfully crafted by the hands of a talented and extremely prolific artist, Elijah Shepard, is inventive and well produced.  The style of the writing is indulgent yet with just the right element of pop sensibility.  Though the album is short, only 5 songs, it leaves a lasting impression and is clearly not hindered by its track count.  Considering the emotional and commercial feel of this record, expect we’ll be hearing and seeing a lot from this artist for years to come.

Track(s):

1
 Hanging Around
ISRC: USTC60851046 Hanging Around is an introspective, relationship-focused song with a memorable chorus, served up with crystal textures intertwined with pensive thought and layers of vocals.  The chorus lyric says it all: “this could be great or just a great mistake.”
2
 When We Leave
ISRC: USTC60851053 Epic guitars, lots of harmony vocals, and a lyrical groove bind this song together.  The sound is familiar yet distinctly Living Machine.
3
 One Of The Crazies
ISRC: USTC60851054 Like the title says, this song is an introspective trip full of melody and a funky groove, all blended together with a pseudo psycho feel.
4
 She Was The Sun
ISRC: USTC60851055 So sad but so common, this song is thoughtfully elusive.  It is about a relationship where each person realizes the other person is more in love with themselves.
5
 Fade
ISRC: USTC60851056 The sound of “Fade” is glassy, layered, dark, and borderline avant-garde.  A well-produced song, it transitions dramatically between a haunting chorus and melodic instrumental sections, then backed up to an epicoutro that is highly orchestral and compelling.  This is definitely a song that you can listen to several times and still hear new elements every time.
