The Last Tycoon

This is Peter Moren's (of Peter Bjorn & John) highly anticipated first solo record. It features a more acoustic, low-key side of Peter than fans of 2007's ubiquitous indie anthem "Young Folks" are used to hearing. Built around the basic foundation of Peter and his guitar, the album has a distinctly homemade feel that feeds from the folk singer/songwriter tradition but still incorporates strings, synths, vibraphones, percussion, a musical saw, and even a drum machine or two.
