Indie Rock
Indie rock is a Music subgenre, subgenre of rock music that originated in the United States, United Kingdom and New Zealand from the 1970s to the 1980s. Originally used to describe independent record labels, the term became associated with the music they produced and was initially used interchangeably with alternative rock or "Pop rock, guitar pop rock".

The Last Tycoon (album)
''The Last Tycoon'' is the debut solo album by Swedish musician Peter Morén of the band Peter Bjorn And John. The album revolves mainly around the theme of adolescence (the track "This Is What I Came For" is especially autobiographical), though its title is taken from the unfinished ''The Last Tycoon'' by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Morén's initial plan was to make a purely acoustic record, but the final product contains elements such as string sections and synthesisers. It was released by V2 Records under license from Wichita Recordings. The album was recorded "...in our spare, stolen hours, here and there in apartments, rehearsal spaces and studios in Stockholm...". The album had two singles; Social Competence, released in March, followed by Reel Too Real in April.https://www.amazon.co.uk/Reel-Too-Real/dp/B001KTPERY/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1340911390&sr=8-12 Amazon UK release, 2008 The album was produced by songwriter Tobias Fröberg, and Daniel Värjö, member of The Concretes, whose ...

Pyramiden (album)
''Pyramiden'' is the third solo album by Swedish musician Peter Morén of the band Peter Bjorn And John, and his second in Swedish. So far, two singles have been released, both digital only. The album is named after the Russian ghost town of Pyramiden, which also partly inspired the album. While Morén's second album I Spåren Av Tåren focused more on soul and classic baroque-pop influences, Pyramiden has a more new wave and modern indie rock style, interlaced with acoustic influences. The album is notably more political than Moren's previous work, with the title having a double meaning in the form of career pyramids and pyramid schemes, and the idea of the pyramid as a type of grave. An English-language version of "Säg Mitt Namn" was released on the Volym 1 compilation album by INGRID and is included in the Broken Swenglish Vol. 1 EP released by Morén in late 2013, along with 'Constant Reaction' ('Orsak Och Verkan') and an English-language rewrite of 'Erik M.
