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.
