1. Peter Bjorn and John – Up Against The Wall (Taken from the album Writers Block)

Why is it that Swedish indie acts can emulate the glamour of British retro pop better than we can? Its a tad bit embarrassing to say the least. Along with The Concretes and The Cardigans, Peter Bjorn and John make original, intelligent and emotive pop music. Their latest album, Writers Block, which features this little gem uses the less is more approach to impress. Up against the wall being the blue print for this, an insanely catchy vocal hook repeats throughout a full 7 minutes, the instrumentation simplistic in its cure- esque semi goth picked guitar riffs, it bounds along like a 3 minute pop affair, lures you in and keeps you for the duration…genius.
