Peter Bjorn and John have shared three tracks from the forthcoming album Darker Days.
“It’s a pep-talk sort of song,” Peter Morén says of the first, One For The Team. “A positive call to arms really. It’s been a bumpy ride as the song says. But the good thing you’ve found together is really worth fighting for, especially after all this time.”
“We really ARE stronger together. We all GAIN from helping each other out. We CAN’T make it ourselves. At least not as good or as vigorous. All very corny but also all very true, most of the time. And the title is kind of corny too but I love calling a song One For The Team.”
Also out is Gut Feeling, whose story ‘begins at the first gig in the US after our last album Breakin’ Point’, according to Björn Yttling. “Backstage in the club in Nashville I was waiting for soundcheck and started writing what was to become Gut Feeling, the words came subconsciously: “I think we need to talk about it, if we don’t wanna live without it.” We actually did talk on that tour, and conflicts were resolved. It all became fun again.”
The trio is completed by Every Other Night, ‘about what’s keeping you awake between the midnight hour and the hour of the wolf’ reveals John Eriksson.
Darker Days is set for release on October 19th.
