The key to Gimme Some's success is the art of keeping things simple.
Chances are if you happen to have a Peter Bjorn and John single on your iTunes it's 2006's Young Folks, a deliriously catchy, Victoria Bergsman-assisted indie anthem with added whistling solo. It was the moment the three titular Swedes (Peter Morén, Björn Yttling and John Eriksson) announced themselves to the mainstream (the song now appears in a Homebase advert). As quickly as they seemed to arrive, however, they were gone, with 2009's Living Thing album befuddled by an over reliance on early 80s drum machines and a general sense of melancholia.
