Peter Bjorn and John Continue Give a 'Reason to Be Reasonable'

Peter Bjorn and John continue to give this holiday season with the release of their second single "Reason To Be Reasonable" - out today via INGRID and available on all DSPs. The single follows "Rusty Nail" released on October 18th with news of the band's 20th year anniversary, ninth full-length studio album Endless Dream - out March 13th - and Spring 2020 North American headline tour.

While first single "Rusty Nail" is a Bjorn Yttling-penned track that draws inspiration from a Swedish children's song. "You trade toys, and if you get the rusty nail instead of the teddy bear, it's not so fun," Yttling chuckles. "Reason To Be Reasonable" is a Peter Morén-penned song that is a classic relationship parable with the easily identifiable Peter Bjorn and John sway. Optimistic by nature, when asked about the song Peter said, "it's about when you've been in a relationship for a really long time, and you feel like it's worth fighting for through the ups and downs. That can be applied to the band, too-a really long thing that keeps on giving."

As we enter a new decade in 2020, the band enters their 20th year together - an accomplishment for any relationship, especially in the music business. The Swedish trio have endured and triumphed over their two-decade long career and Endless Dreamexemplifies the band's creative chemistry and ability to continue to create undeniably catchy indie-pop tunes. Recorded at the INGRID Studios in Stockholm, Endless Dream is their ninth full-length studio album and third LP to be released via INGRID.
