New Peter Bjorn & John - "Lay It Down (The Golden Filter Remix)"

thubmnail icon: New Peter Bjorn & John - "Lay It Down (The Golden Filter Remix)"

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.

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.
