Peter Bjorn And John - Breakin' Point [CD]

2016 release from the Swedish trio. Breakin' Point is Peter Bjorn and John's seventh full-length studio album following up 2011 's critically acclaimed Gimme Some and of course the 2006 million selling US single "Young Folks" that started it all. The album marks their first new release in more than five years. On Breakin' Point the band had the opportunity to work with an impressive group of producers including Patrick Berger (Icona Pop, Robyn), Paul Epworth (Florence And The Machine, U2, Paul McCartney), Greg Kurstin (Sia, Adele), Emile Haynie (Lana Del Rey, FKA Twigs, Kanye West), Pontus Winnberg (Miike Snow) and Thom Monahan (Wild Nothing, Devendra Banhart). The result is a phenomenal album that finds the group reaching another career high. While the trio's previous record Gimme Some was Peter Bjorn and John's guitar driven power pop record that beautifully captured the energy of the band's live show, Breakin' Point is about creating big pop songs, taking advantage of all that the studio has to offer and crafting an album that is complex while sounding effortless.
