THE THEANDER EXPRESSION emerged in 2013 as the solo venture of Swedish guitarist Andrée Theander. His debut album, Strange Nostalgia, received global acclaim and quickly resonated with classic rock fans worldwide. It marked his return to original music after the 2008 self-released EP Influence Grind with his progressive rock band Cap Outrun—a group that would later evolve and release the full-length High on Deception in 2021.
Theander followed up with Wonderful Anticipation in 2016, shifting toward a more modern melodic rock sound while weaving in bluesy undertones and instrumental flair. Vocals were shared between Christian, Christoffer Särnefält, and Theander himself, adding new textures to the project’s sonic palette.
Since then, Andrée has released two solo records under his own name, collaborated with funk-rock outfit Clouds of Clarity on their 2022 album Superficial Society, and continued his work with Cap Outrun. Outside the studio, he teaches guitar and performs in tribute shows honoring Swedish icons like ABBA and Gyllene Tider. Whether on tour or at home in his guitar nook, new music is always in motion.
The Pursuit of Serenity is the title of the new single and it's a quality song from every point of view: performance, production, arrangement, songwriting, everything is in the right place. The song has elements of the 80s, but with a modern sound. The vocals are catchy, the guitars are inspired throughout the song (check out the solo!), and the rhythm section is very solid.
