Peter Bjorn And John – “Stuck”

Marcus Palmqvist

Lovable indie pop Swedes Peter Bjorn And John are releasing a deluxe version of their 2016 album Breakin’ Point tomorrow. It features eight bonus tracks, and today, we get a feel for that extra material via new single “Stuck.” Breakin’ Point, PBJ’s seventh studio album, saw a notably refined shift in the band’s sound. It explored a more polished style, thanks in part to a trio of heavy-hitting pop producers that were brought in for the project. “Stuck” is a lighthearted look into that rejuvenated writing process — a crisp and bopping track set to whimsical strings. It’s got all the pop components, mixed with yearning, self-reflective lyrics. As the chorus goes, “The more I search/ the less I know anything,” the otherwise bouncing track is brought back a more realistic ground. Listen below.
