The Download

You've got to hand it to Peter, Bjorn and John. After gaining a global audience with their commercial-friendly whistler, "Young Folks," the Stockholm trio isn't afraid to throw caution to the wind and ditch the singing. Seaside Rock sets sail on September 23 on Almost Gold Records and will be instrumental save for monologues in each member's native Swedish. But don't let that discourage you. The opening track's industrial drum loop, grindhouse guitar riffs and Morphine-induced saxophone are better off without catchy choruses. Download "Inland Empire" from Pitchfork. The album won't be released on CD, just on limited-edition vinyl and digital formats.
