Loney, Dear - 'Sologne' (Something In Construction) Released 09/10/06

Loney, Dear are another gift of Stockholm, Sweden (Thank you for The Knife, for briiiinging it to us!.) 'Sologne' comes sealed aside a pretty little booklet scattered with the confession: Emil Svanängen likes photographs of trees against night blemished skies (also day bright blue ones) and lone houses warmed by fire-like indoor lights. Emil, multi instrumentalist, writer and singer has a sweet little voice (those Scandinavian tykes) for a man too old to drop them anytime at all anymore (no, not that old, just not a tweenie or a teeny). The entire Loney, Dear, the nine members with various talents, have a few albums under their buckles and are the newest signing of indie label Something in Construction (Damn Arms etc).  And if you can judge a band by their ‘friends’ then Loney, Dear’s ownspace front page friends include Gillian Welch, Regina Spektor and Sigur Ros. Hayden, Kings of Convenience and cousin of Bjork are suspected of being hidden in the back screens somewhere. Loney, Dear have played alongside Devandra Banhart, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Sonic Youth and Peter Bjorn and John.
