PETER BJORN & JOHN Seaside Rock (2008 UK strictly limited edition 10-track vinyl LP - During a flight back from London, Peter Bjorn & John started to reminisce about their years in elementary school and among the subjects was the frustration of listening to and sometimes having to play in school orchestras. And when they thought about it, the sound of the Swedish music school orchestras from hell wasn't really that bad, they realised it was kind of fantastic. Soon the idea of making an instrumental album with these types of sounds seemed like a great idea. As homage to Peter Bjorn And John's respective hometowns they wanted to feature the voice and dialect from each of the three areas. So apart from the instrumental soundtrack to the lonely childhood of northern Scandinavia you can also hear three monologues about some sort of seaside. The stories are read by a real saxophone player from Norsjö, a grandfather from Vika and the hairdresser Siw from Piteå.)**Strictly Limited to 300 Copies ONLY**
