This commemorates the 19th anniversary of the band’s breakthrough LP, originally released in 2006. Writer's Block is widely regarded as one of the most influential albums of the mid-2000s. The LP was one of Pitchfork's "Best New Music" picks and had The Guardian calling it "A delight, from start to finish." The album's single "Young Folks," featuring Victoria Bergsman, became an era-defining anthem, earning widespread and long-lasting acclaim. The song's infectious whistling has been spotlighted in numerous cultural discussions and earlier this year The New York Times featured "Young Folks" in their "In Praise of Whistling in Pop Music" newsletter and playlist "The Amplifier." In addition, the song was featured prominently in two of the periods biggest TV shows — Gossip Girl and How I Met Your Mother. Furthermore, several album tracks caught the ear of some very well-known rappers. Kanye West rapped over "Young Folks" for his 2007 mixtape Can't Tell Me Nothing, and in 2009 Drake sampled "Let's Call It Off" on his track of the same name and Azealia Banks rapped over "The Chills," retitling the track "The Chill$." This milestone tour offers fans a chance to relive Writer's Block in its entirety, along with other beloved hits from Peter Bjorn and John's extensive discography.
