From “Lay It Down“’s “shut the fuck up boy” to “Nothing To Worry About“’s “boys to men” comment and warped take on Justice kids choruses, it’s pretty clear Peter Bjorn & John want Living Thing to help them move beyond twee-ass “Young Folks” to something darker and a bit older. Don’t buy it? Check out the porn mustaches and leather jackets on 2/3 of the band in the accompanying photo. Or, as further evidence, listen to this hormonal after-midnight remix of “Lay It Down” by soft-focused New York disco crew Golden Filter.

Living Thing is out 3/30 in the UK via Wichita and 3/31 in the US via Almost Gold Recordings/StarTime International.

    Peter! Come back to the Ocean, your porpoise brothers and sisters MISS YOU!

    COME BACK PETER!

  2. Young Folks may have blown up but it was also a better song than “Lay It Down” and “Nothing To Worry About”

    I almost thought this was a cover of the Ratt song.
