Peter Moren – solo album launch…
Peter Moren, one-third of Swede popstars Peter Bjorn and John releases his debut solo album this year on Wichita Recordings.
Following an incredible last two years with PBJ, touring the world on the back of the ‘Writers Block’ album and the global hit ‘Young Folks’, having seen the inside of some of the world’s great venues and TV studios, Peter never stopped writing.
Having sold hundreds of thousands of records, PBJ have gone from cult favourites to bona-fide popstars. They played with Kanye West in Sweden, they appeared on Letterman, they were nominated for a VMA and more. They broke America, the even broke Japan. ‘Young Folks’ was a hit all over the world, taking on a life of its own. And Peter was responsible for all this.
‘The Last Tycoon’ is an album in the vein of classic songwriting. Think Cat Stevens, think James Taylor. Then think 2008 and what that would be now. And then think PBJ and their unique songcraft. The sum of all that is an album that speaks to one and all. Its an honest, characterful record, where familiar tales are spun but in a way that is more direct than his cotemporaries.
Peter is coming over for a handful of dates this April –
15 – London – Water Rats
16 – Liverpool – Barfly
17 – Manchester – Roadhouse
18 – Glasgow – Barfly
19 – Dublin – Sugar Club
Look out for the single ‘Reel Too Real’, set for release in April alongside the live shows.
