Almost three years after “Young Folks” tore apart the airwaves (and the hearts of so many delicate boys and girls), we’re still waiting for some kind of follow-up from Peter Bjorn And John that’s anywhere near as catchy and delectable. That doesn’t mean the boys from Stockholm haven’t tried: The band’s newest album, Living Thing, boasts plenty of attempts, including the valiant, trance-inducing “Nothing To Worry About.” Opener El Perro Del Mar is the project of another Swede, Sarah Assbring, who whispers her pop songs and then adorns them with orchestral swoon. A recent album, Love Is Not Pop, is both very poppy and filled with songs about love and loss.
