She joins us to talk about impersonating four different archetypes from the Greek pantheon and slamming George Bush on her new album, "American Doll Posse." And she plays live in studio.
How Swede it Is
Swedish pop trio Peter Bjorn & John have received much attention with their song "Young Folks," which was featured on an episode of "Grey's Anatomy." Today the band drops in to talk about "Writer’s Block," their new album drawing on everything from lo-fi 80's electronics and shoe-gaze guitars to slacker beats and icy dreamsapes.
