Peter Bjorn and John are set to release their sixth studio album, Gimme Some, on March 29th. The band have shared two songs from the album, including the absolutely stellar "Second Chance". The first time I heard it, I fell in love with it -- the production, the hook, the tones, the energy. It's the reason why my phone background is currently a three-thumbed hand. Needless to say, I'm pretty excited for this album. In case you happened to miss it, check out "Second Chance" below.

"Second Chance" further proves the theory that the Swedes know how to craft truly great pop music. This song, obviously, isn't straight up pop, but the infectious energy and melody are undeniable, and will stick in your head like the memory of heat in the dead of winter -- or Charlie Sheen catchphrases ("Winning!," "I've got tiger blood," "Yeah, I'm on a drug -- it's called Charlie Sheen!" etc.). And, hey, if it doesn't buy a plot of land and move into your head upon first listen, you'll probably be suffering withdrawal symptoms if you happen to go through extended periods of time without hearing it.
What's more, the music video for this song is just as great as the song itself. Do you like streamers? Confetti? Paint? Reverse it. What? View the magic after the hop.
Gimme Some is out March 28th in Europe on Cooking Vinyl and March 29th in the US on Startime International.
