Video: Peter Bjorn and John, ‘Gimme Some’

0

Peter Bjorn and John have brought the mere act of streaming an album to an entirely different level. Although their latest album, “Gimme Some,” has been out since March, the Swedish trio have offered a visual component to accompany the whole record. With a very clever treatment by directors Ted Malmros and Gustaf von Arbin, the band performs “each and every second of the new album.” Each chapter in the the short-compilation film serves as a new interpretation for each song whether it involves angled mirrors, falling paint in reverse or detailed drawings, and the clip, which runs over 37 minutes, is presented just before they kick off their North American “All You Can Eat” tour next week. If you haven’t listened to the album yet, this sure is a fun way to not only hear it but also see it. (Video via Pitchfork.)
