CD Living Thing [Peter Bjorn and John]
Not Yet Rated
Rolling Stone (p.82) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "The melodies are winsome throughout, but LIVING THING is a record for beat mavens, with clattery drum-programming propelling songs that nod to Depeche Mode and South African township jive." Spin (p.82) - "[I]t's an uneasy, bracingly honest soundtrack to life after fame....'Losing My Mind' is all broken wind-chime clangs....The radio-catchy 'Lay It Down' features skull-cracking synths..." Alternative Press (p.114) - 4.5 stars out of 5 -- "Dark beats drive 'I'm Losing My Mind,' and a hint of Paul Simon world music punctuates the title track....This is an album of spontaneous originality and should be appreciated as such." Blender (Magazine) (p.62) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "The sound matches lyrics about isolation and despair, achieving a freeze-dried catchiness in the opening songs." Paste (magazine) (p.61) - "[T]he three tunesmiths augment robot riffs and splashy drums with very human handclaps and vocal bass lines....The band earns high marks for proving their hooks can translate into any stylistic language."
