Peter Bjorn and John is excited to be bringing fans the deluxe edition of their seventh full-length studio album Breakin' Point. For the extended version of their critically acclaimed new album, the band added eight bonus tracks including newly penned and recently recorded hit single "Stuck," listen HERE, an updated take of 2015's incredibly well-received song "High Up" and early versions of several album tracks such as the title track and "A Long Goodbye." The 20-song set will be released digitally on March 3rd with limited edition vinyl available for Record Store Day.

Peter Bjorn and John originally released Breakin' Point on June 10, 2016, marking their first full-length studio album in more than five years. The release was supported by several US tours, a flurry of press coverage from the likes of Esquire, Nylon, Entertainment Weekly, Rolling Stone, Interview, Harper's Bazaar, Pitchfork, Stereogum, Mashable, Noisey, People and Billboard, several incredible sessions including KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic, NPR's World Cafe, and Live on KEXP and two live performances on NBC's Last Call shot at August 2016's FYF Fest.

In addition to the album Peter Bjorn and John released a number of incredible remixes. The first to drop was a beautiful reworking of the first single "What You Talking About" by RAC and the song later got remixed by Claptone. Miike Snow lent their skills to a remix of the album's lead single and title track "Breakin' Point," and Galantis did an electro house stomper of a remix for "Dominos" that ended up on the October 28th Dominos EP.

Following the Dominos EP release at the end of October, the band played their last show of 2016 at the Festival Corona Capital 2016 in Mexico City where they performed alongside Tegan and Sara, Mark Ronson, Band of Horses and Haim among others to more than 100K fans. It seems only fitting that following such a hectic year the Swedish trio decided to return to the INGRID studio to do what they do best - writing and recording songs with just the three of them. The result is the undeniable new single "Stuck," a song that truly embodies what everyone knows and loves about Peter Bjorn and John. The bonus tracks are rounded out by the previously vinyl-exclusive b-side "Bad Taste," and another unreleased track "Spoken Word."
