CD Review: Peter Bjorn and John – Gimme Some; Playing Masquerade, April 28

Peter Bjorn and John Gimme Some Almost Gold Gimme Some is perhaps one of the sunniest records of the year, but Swedish trio Peter Bjorn and John took a strange, twisty road to get here. This, the band’s sixth LP, is a far cry from the weird hollowness and intimately narrative lyrics found on their […]
