Spending his formative years as singer in the incendiary punk band Ebba Grön, and subsequently the industrial band Peace Love and Pitbulls, Joakim Thåström has gone on to hone a distinct and diverse solo sound, drawing on alternative rock, folk and electronic music. His boundary-pushing songwriting has found a huge audience in his native country, with songs that tackle politics and social issues alongside those dwelling on personal loss. Whether delivering rousing acoustic sing-alongs or brooding, synth-drenched love songs, Thåström remains one of Sweden's most innovative musicians.
