Amsterdam

The track was recorded for Writer's Block with Peter Morén, Björn Yttling and John Eriksson during the band Stockholm sessions. The album was produced by Peter Bjorn and John, with Björn Yttling central to the record clean, melodic studio sound. Released on Writer's Block in 2006, it became one of the album key tracks during the period when Peter Bjorn and John gained international attention. Though Young Folks was the major breakout single, Amsterdam helped define the album understated pop identity. It remains a recognized Writer's Block album track and part of the record that established Peter Bjorn and John outside Sweden. The song continues to represent the band mid 2000s mix of concise songwriting, dry rhythm and wistful melodic detail.
