Fifty-word review

Living Thing

Borrow It

Veering from the contagious whistling of past hits, Peter Bjorn & John lay down some moody tracks on their latest release. But apparently they like to dance with heavy stuff on the mind, and they want you to join along. Especially in "Nothing to Worry About," where the band reveals they’re not quite as darkly motivated as you thought.
