Peter Bjorn and John are excited to be releasing the title track and US single from their forthcoming new album Breakin’ Point today, purchase HERE. “Breakin’ Point” was produced by Grammy Award winner Emile Haynie – who also adds some synthesizer to the track. The song is the second to be released from Breakin’ Point – the band’s seventh full-length and first new studio album in more than five years, due out June 10th via their own imprint INGRID and Kobalt Label Services.

“Breakin’ Point” was introduced to fans yesterday thanks to a radio premiere on Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 radio show on Apple Music that airs weekdays from 9am-11am PST and via an exclusive online premiere courtesy of Stereogum.

“Breakin’ Point” follows the March 11th release of “What You Talking About?” – which premiered on March 10th via Pitchfork along with exclusive news of the album. “What You Talking About?” also had a radio premiere that day via Annie Mac’s BBC Radio 1 show and Mac has been playing the tune ever since. She also included it in her “International Special” show on March 23rd – where she plays her favorite tracks from around the world! John Kennedy played “What You Talking About?” on his Radio X show and Radio 2 added the song to the C-List starting Saturday, March 26th! In addition, “What You Talking About?” had a slew of great press pick up as well as an overwhelmingly positive response. Rolling Stone described the tune as “…an infectious slice of synth-heavy indie pop,” Billboard called it “…an infectious pop nugget that bounces catchily along and twinkles in all the right corners…” and WXPN – who played “What You Talking About?” on its New Music Show this past Monday – said it’s “… an undeniable pop anthem that begs for your ears.”
