Pitchfork

Well, it's not exactly brand new-- it's been on YouTube for like two months-- but in light of our recent love affair with Scandinavian indie pop overlords Peter Bjorn and John's fantastic new album Writer's Block (which scored the band Best New Music yesterday), we figured this video for its first single "Young Folks" is ripe for posting. Plus, it's only, like, one of the best tracks of the year.

If you haven't heard the song yet, it was entry #37 in our Infinite Mixtape series back in late August, where we called it, in typical Pitchfork stylee, "a superlative summertime ditty replete with maracas, happy-go-lucky bumbling bass, and an infectious whistled melody that can't help but incite smile riots."

The video, on the other hand, is probably creepier than it means to be, with emotionless cartoon characters singing the starry-eyed hook, bobbing their heads all seasickly, and jamming together at what looks to be a pretty depressing party. Check it here:
