Stars: 3.5/5

The Swedish band lovingly referred to by fans as PB and J, take it back to the old school on their fifth long player. It's still clean, infectious pop, with an iciness that only other Nordic bands can rival, but the synth madness of 2006 hit Young Folks has been replaced with garage rock roots and bassy, punky undertones. The band is still young and influential but have taken a more retrospective route this time, as they lament love, and those 90s rock stars that taught them the
importance of the rowdy chorus.
