Peter Bjorn and John take in the Seaside

Number 35 was a respectable showing for the Scandinavian triumvirate known as Peter, Bjorn and John. That was the numerical assessment that the Singin' Swedes (© Paste 2008)* received for Writer's Block, an album that featured the whistlingest tune of the millennium.

Now the boys are back in action with Seaside Rock, which, we must admit, evokes Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville a little more than, say, PB&J in warm, balmy Gothenburg. The album will hit the streets on Sept. 23. Which streets, you might ask? Likely, a mix of old, decaying alleys and new-fangled, spotless boulevards, because the album is getting a vinyl and digital release.

Seaside Rock is a mostly-instrumental creation with three spoken monologues. We'll let you draw your own conclusions about whether there's something odd in that seaside water.
