After relentless worldwide touring due to the great success of Peter Bjorn & John’s Writer’s Block album, Peter Moren has slowed things down a bit for his solo debut. The Last Tycoon is released April 8th on the Quarterstick label here in the U.S. and it is a stunningly simple record. Inspired by folk pioneers of the 1960’s & 1970’s, Peter worked with his friends Daniel Varjo (of the Concretes) and Tobias Froberg and it’s obvious that he had fun working on some songs that wouldn’t really fit for PB&J.

In this intimate performance, the songs are presented as stripped down as possible: it’s just Peter and an acoustic guitar. He only made a few appearances down at SXSW this year and we were thrilled that he spent some time with us and played a few tunes off The Last Tycoon. You’ll hear four tracks from the new cd and then he presents a reworked version of an old PB&J song to close out the set.
