Peter Bjorn and John are three guys with no time for commas, and as the name Bjorn suggests, they are indeed Swedish. They make kind of...uh...let's see. Beatsy...folky...poppy...rock music. "Young Folks" (w/guest vocals by Victoria Bergsman) is the standout of the tracks I've heard so far, a great summer song. Give it a listen, it has some tastefully arranged bongos AND whistling! Their third album, Writer's Block, recently came out in the UK.
