"After getting to see the Swedes with our own eyes, we just wanted to add to the chorus of emphatic declarations of love for Peter Bjorn and John. Totally blown away."--Stereogum

With their third release, Writer's Block, this prolific (but comma adverse) trio from Stockholm have become the buzz band of the moment.

Peter Bjorn and John will be at the Wexner Center Store starting at 8 PM to sign copies of Writer’s Block. Be there to get one! They reveal their knack for catching the drift of young love lost and found in its songs, from the supremely catchy indie anthem "Young Folks," with its whistled melody, to "The Chills," with its signature line: "Your tongue is sharp/ But I miss the taste of it." As Pitchfork noted, this LP finds the trio "aspiring to new levels of sonic diversity, exploring everything from lo-fi 80s electronics and shoegaze guitars to slacker beats and icy dreamscapes" and is "one of the better pop records we've heard this year." Rounding out the bill for this must-see show are Fujiya & Miyagi, a trio from Brighton, England (not, as you might guess, a duo from Japan), who bring a sparky electro update to krautrock beats, and all-female Brooklyn band Au Revoir Simone, known for seductive, triple keyboard action.
