Loney, Dear

I've seen the name Loney, Dear around and about, but I have to admit it I had an irrational aversion to it because my internal copy editor (who never shuts off) kept recoiling at the misspelling of "lonely".

So when a contact at Sub Pop pitched me on their upcoming show, I asked to hear the record so I could get past the name. I got Loney, Dear's Loney, Noir in the mail on Friday and I've been listening to it all weekend. The music upbeat, dreamy and moody and Emil has an exuberant falsetto that reminds me a little of Sigur Rós.

Now that I hear how good the music is, I've come to finally accept the strange stage name for Swedish singer-songwriter Emil Svanängen. This record is great. Go get it. Then see the band live at The Independent on May 29th.
