In the five years since their last album,
Gimme Some, the three members of
Peter Bjorn and John were very busy. They started a record label, Ingrid, built their own studio, produced other artists, and each worked on solo projects. When they decided to get back together to make their seventh album,
Breakin' Point, they turned to outside producers to help them get a modern pop sound. By calling in
Patrik Berger,
Paul Epworth,
Greg Kurstin, and
Emile Haynie, they availed themselves of the services of guys who had worked with artists as huge as
Kanye West and
Adele, as awesome as
Robyn, and as far afield from their sound as
Linkin Park. ~ Tim Sendra
