Add Date: March 31

Artist: Peter Bjorn and John

Album: Living Thing

Label: Almost Gold/Columbia

Genre: Pop

Comments: The fifth album from Swedish trio Peter Bjorn and John (including last year's instrumental set Seaside Rock) finds them veering away from the '60s influences of their 2006 smash Writer's Block, and into territory populated more by synthesizers and drum machines. Less rock, more pop. The results are mixed; while the album as a whole seems to be lacking something, there are some terrific songs contained within. In particular, check out "It Don't Move Me," "Just the Past" and the title track.
