Loney Dear aka Emil Svanangen releases a new album, ‘Dear John’ on March 2nd on Regal Recordings. Since Loney Dear’s self-released debut, The Year Of River Fontana (2003), he has enjoyed quiet yet persistent word-of-mouth success. He has been prolific too, going on to release Citadel Band in 2005, Sologne in 2006 and the critically acclaimed Loney, Noir in 2007. ‘Dear John’ is the final piece of a five-album jigsaw. It’s a love letter to himself, a goodbye note to his loved ones and one last gigantic hurrah for his loyal fans. But this is by no means the end for Loney Dear – it’s merely the end of this particular journey.
Recorded alone in Emil’s tiny Stockholm studio apartment and in the comfort of his parents’ house in Jönköping, Dear John is an album of contrasts. It will cozy up next to you through the bleakest of winters and be your shade in the blistering summer sun. It’s an album that has been on Emil’s mind since the inception of Loney Dear, and was crafted lovingly and sometimes frustratingly over the past three years. Emil has always aspired to perfection; he has always promised a masterpiece. He sincerely hopes Dear John is that record.
It’s not just on record that Loney Dear dazzle. Whether solo or with the full live band – which includes Samuel Starck (keyboards), Malin Ståhlberg (tambourine, vocals, keys), Ola Hultgren (drums) and David Lindvall (bass) – the past two years have seen Loney Dear morph into a gigantic, sugar-coated pop force to be reckoned with, famously leaving audiences on both sides of the Atlantic with ear-to-ear grins
