Peter (of Bjorn and John) Morén's debut gets date

By Tiago Moura on 3:37 PM on January 30, 2008

From one of the happiest countries in the world comes a rather melancholy album. Peter Morén sheds his two partners to bring a much more low key and acoustic sound than he did as part of the widely acclaimed Swedish indie trio Peter Bjorn and John. A product of more than two years' worth of recording and mixing in U.S. and Swedish apartments and studios, The Last Tycoon will come out April 8 on Quarterstick Records. When asked about the album's lyrics, Morén—the same lyricist of Peter Bjorn and John's breakout hit Writer’s Block—described it as “the usual lyrical psychobabble,... read more

Unless you have spent this year in a cave, you’ve heard a lot about Peter Bjorn and John. But if you happen to be one of those cave dwellers, tell me, how are you liking it down there? Is it dark? Musty? And have you at least scrawled some rudimentary paintings on the walls to spruce the place up? If you live above ground, you’ve probably spent the last year whistling along to the breezy pop charms of Writer’s Block.

Peter Bjorn and John talk new instrumental record

Currently playing a run of shows that will find them hitting various U.S. sites and a couple cities across the pond, Swedish popsters Peter Bjorn and John took a moment to relax and catch up with Paste's Jason Killingsworth at this previous weekend's Austin City Limits festival. Even though the band's current release Writer's Block is still winning over new fans (Pete Yorn took his turn covering PB&J's hit single "Young Folks" during his own ACL set), it turns out the guys already have another record in the can. "We have recorded the new record," Peter Morén told us. "It's... read more
