Peter Bjorn and John tour

John McEnroe...Bjorn Borg...anyone know an 80s tennis player called Peter?

Back to the point, current botherers of MTV2's 120 Minutes Peter Bjorn and John are making their way to Britain for a few shows in the coming weeks. Their new album Writer's Block (due August 14th through Wichita) is a rare thing of beauty, the junction where Bjork, Animal Collective and AC Newman collide in a glorious mangle of shimmering walls of noise and earth-shattering vocals.
