456. Peter Morén (Peter Bjorn and John, SunYears) on Stina Nordenstam 'And She Closed Her Eyes' (1994)

This week's guest is Swedish singer/songwriter Peter Morén, known for his work as guitarist and vocalist of indie rock trio Peter Bjorn and John and his solo project SunYears. Peter joins me to discuss the 1994 sophomore album by alternative Swedish artist Stina Nordenstam, 'And She Closed Her Eyes'. Peter and I chat about how this record represents a transitionary period for Nordenstam, how the album was recorded with drums but then stripped of them in the final mix, the elusive nature of Nordenstam as an artist and the ambiguity surrounding whether she will ever record another album, the artist's underground cult following which extends beyond her native Sweden, how the fragility and intimacy of the vocal recordings give the album a timeless feel, and much more.
