Peter Morén

Peter Morén is a Swedish musician best known as the guitarist and vocalist for the indie pop trio Peter Bjorn and John, the group behind the catchy international hit “Young Folks.” Outside of the band, Peter has built an impressive solo career, exploring a more introspective and lyrically rich style rooted in folk, rock, and pop. Singing in both English and Swedish, he’s released several solo albums that showcase his knack for thoughtful songwriting, melodic craftsmanship, and a knack for blending classic pop sensibilities with personal storytelling.

Morén’s solo work often sees him diving into themes of aging, memory, and the complexities of modern life, particularly evident in releases like "Oljud" and "En åldrande befolkning." He’s also been involved in other musical projects and collaborations, further cementing his reputation as a versatile and prolific figure in Sweden’s indie music scene. With a career that balances big-stage success and low-key solo introspection, Peter Morén continues to evolve as a thoughtful voice in contemporary music.
