MJTV: Peter Bjorn & John - Young Folks

From today's Chicago Tribune "Sweden's Peter Bjorn and John: A trio that knows how to whistle":

Though the trio slyly parodied typecasting in the video for "Young Folks" (a boy
teaches his girlfriend to whistle the tune before suggesting "My place?"), the band soon will have to face the most perplexing question of its career. How do you keep the momentum after penning one of the year's most unexpected indie-pop anthems?"

It does worry us a bit; it can take the focus away from the band as a whole," singer-guitarist Peter Moren said. "But we can't complain. It's the one downside of having a hit."
