It’s been a long time between sessions, but the combined forces of Swedish trio Peter Bjorn & John, and producer Paul Epworth, have returned with the release of the band’s seventh studio album, Breakin’ Point. This fab four first made magic together a decade ago on what is undoubtedly PB&J’s most famous song, ‘Young Folks‘, and have reenlisted Epworth’s skills for their first album in five years, alongside fellow producers Emile Haynie and Greg Kurstin.
It was never much of a secret that the band and Paul were working together again at The Church thanks to their prolific social media updates, which began all the way back in September of 2014. Spanning Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube, we got many a sneak peek and exclusive preview of the sessions, the songs, and the fun times.
So to celebrate the release of Breakin’ Point, we thought we’d go back and take a look at almost two years’ worth of sessions that contributed so such a great album.
Peter Bjorn & John’s Breakin’ Point is out now on INGRID. Click to buy on iTunes, or to stream on Spotify. To find out more about the recording, read our release article here.
