Then buzz it up

This is all we know about Loney, Dear. 1) Loney, Dear is the pseudonym of Emil Svanängen. 2) Emil Svanängen makes music. 3) On the basis of new single I Am John, Loney, Dear makes some of the most heart-bursting affirmative music we've heard in an age.
I Am John by Loney, Dear is a hard song to peg. For a start, giving yourself a name with the word 'Loney' in it is a bit off-putting, and I Am John's black and white cartoon video - though gorgeous - doesn't even begin to hint at the cosy freewheeling twinkling warmth of Loney, Dear's music. Think a slightly subdued Flaming Lips. Think The Concretes. Think Tobias Froberg. I Am John by Loney, Dear is all of this and more - it's the perfect soundtrack for these longer summer evenings, and we're going to spend the next hour of our lives pestering Loney, Dear's record label for a copy of his new album.

btw - it’s “Loney, Dear”, not “Lonely, Dear” (yeah, it doesn’t make any sense to me either), and they - or he - had a cracking album out last year “Sologne” and are playing Monto/WaterRats on the 25th April. http://www.themonto.com/listings_detail.php?listings_id=276

I am thick, and I apologise. Loney Dear it is.
