Dec. 4, Velvet Underground

Swedish pop-rock group

Peter Bjorn and John

garnered international fame

with the 2006 release of their

catchy, whistle-filled hit,

“Young Folks.” Ever since,

they’ve taken a haphazard

approach to their albums:

2009’s Living Thing fused

hip-hop with African elec-

tronic funk, and 2011’s Gimme

Some backtracked to melodic

pop. For their new album,

they’ve stripped back their

sound. Contrary to the title,

Darker Days is sprinkled

with the type of upbeat, bright

riffs that made the band

famous, while the lyrics

touch on the darkness of the

human mind. The band’s

upcoming show cycles

through their many musical

personas, but rest assured

that the set list will still

include a whistle-along.
