Description:
The brainchild of Emil Svanangen from Jonkoping, Sweden, Loney, Dear realized the dream of basement pop prodigies everywhere when his own home-recorded mp3s propelled him from blogosphere discussion thread to a contract with Sub Pop. With his debut, Loney, Noir, it is easy to see why the label was impressed. Loney, Dear reimagines twee pop with elevated Van Dyke Parks-style sophistication that is simultaneously homespun and orchestral. Svanangen`s instantly memorable melodies are also the perfect vehicle for his impossibly high alto. (Sub Pop Records)
