Frank Yang Adele has been a big deal for a while, her 2008 debut 19 having picked up all kinds of accolades and awards. And that's kind of a shame because with that level of acclaim as a floor, it's difficult to express just how much better the follow-up 21 is. I appreciated the debut as a showcase for Ms Adkin's talents as a singer and songwriter, but the follow up bests it in pretty much every way. Her [...]
while we're waiting for the new Loney, Dear album... Young Hearts from Loney dear on Vimeo .
Hey guys! I'm back!! You may not have noticed, but I've taken a bit of a sabbatical from the ol' blog since around the first of the year, just posting a random video here and there. Officially, the reason for the light posting has been this huge national test I had to study for and take (ugh), but to be honest, I also just needed a break from writing-about/seeking-new music - just some time to decompress and soak in all the good music I've already got, and even make a little of my own. I'm not gonna lie, it felt [...]
Something In Construction has launched its 100th release in perfect internet style. SiC unveiled their "Love SiC Disco" sampler earlier this week via The Guardian. IIt features the first material from two of its highest-profile artists. Memory Tapes gifts us with ‘Today Is Our Life’ – a cut from their forthcoming sophomore album. If that weren't enough, Loney Dear marks their return to the label with ‘Loney Blues’ – taken from the eagerly awaited Hall Music, due later this year. Just imagine if we had a new Air France track to boot. Well, a girl can always dream... [...]
Per celebrare le sue cento uscite, l'etichetta Something In Construction ha messo in free download una compilation sul blog del Guardian , con nomi del calibro di Gruff Rhys, Concretes, Memory Tapes, Gay Blades e Guards. Tra le altre, c'è anche una canzone nuova di Loney Dear , il cantautore svedese in passato su Sub Pop. La sua magnifica Loney Blues letteralmente risplende, quasi una versione da aurora boreale dei Band Of Horses, ed è la prima anticipazione del suo prossimo atteso album Hall Music . (mp3): Loney Dear - [...]
The Guardian shared a free compilation the other day. Buried within is this new track from Loney Dear which will be on his upcoming 2011 album. Download it here and then snag the rest of the Love SIC Disco compilation at the Guardian's site. MP3: Loney Dear - Loney Blues Loney Dear on Myspace
(photo by Deb Caponera) MP3: Loney Dear - Loney Blues The day has been slow with music excitement, but then everything BLEW THE FUCK UP : new Loney Dear !! "Loney Blues" is featured on a compilation called "Love Sic Disco", and it was compiled to celebrate 100 releases from the label Something in Construction. It can be downloaded for free right here [...]
El proyecto del multiinstrumentista Emil Svanängen está cerca de traernos el seguidor de Dear John (2009). A través de su cuenta de Facebook , el artista anunció estar muy emocionado por el 2011, y adelantó que sacará un nuevo disco este año. Por Dios. Tengo tantas canciones geniales que los van a sacudir por completo. Álbum 2011. Así fue el escueto comentario de Svanängen, quien junto a Malin [...]
There is a really good free compilation you'll have to check out from Something In Construction to celebrate 100 releases at the label. A niggling point though before we get into another round of our default effusiveness, the mp3s are really badly tagged on the download – hard to understand given all the effort that must have gone into making such a rich and diverse collection. That aside there is much to savour from the likes of Memory Tapes, MNDR, the Silent League, Houses and our favourite Loney, Dear. We were wondering what Emil Svanängen would [...]
Via The Line Of Best Fit / Something In Construction comes this first preview track (the correct title is Blues and not Loney Blues ) from the forthcoming Loney Dear album Hall Music . Loney Dear - Loney Blues by SICrecords [...]
Don't get yourself all confused now. This is a new song from the chillwave Memory Tapes, recording alias of New Jersey-based Dayve Hawk, not memoryhouse. To celebrate 100 releases, London label Something in Construction have released a great compilation for download titled Love Sic Disco, which includes new song from MT, "Today Is Our Life." Listen [...]
Loney Dear is this month’s guest artist at mixtoverdener.dk (mix two worlds) and shares this rather alternative remix/interpretation of Bortkørende Tog (Train Passing By) by Danish composer Rued Langgaard . + How Can I Turn The Darkest Night
Headless Horseman is a hot-off-the-press New York duo with some outstanding potential. In fact, it's only been a week or two since Fareed Sajan and Connor Oneill played their debut show at Glasslands (opening for Avey Tare no less), but they've already got some CMJ appearances lined up at the Greedhead showcase (@ Piano's October 20) and at the Musebox Unofficial CMJ party (@ Cameo Gallery October 21). And if you, like myself, can't make it out to NYC for the big CMJ fest, they've released a 5 song EP (appropriately titled 5songs) via [...]
Taking a brief sabbatical from the recording of album number six, Loney dear appeared on Swedish TV show Nyhetsmorgon yesterday tooled with a full brass band performing an all new arrangement of 'Saturday Waits' from 20072s Loney, Noir . If this doesn't put a smile on your face on this brisk Sunday morning then you're almost definitely devoid of emotion.

Like it or not. A post like this was inevitable... Been giving the new Arcade Fire album a few spins today. Because everyone else seem to enjoy it (and because I’m such a dickhead), I really want not to like it. If nothing else, then just to be able to say that I’m not buying into the hype. Got to admit that this mission has failed completely, as my first impression is beyond positive. + Wake Up (not from the album, but you knew [...]
Well well, happy Monday to ya! Did you have a good weekend? Yeah, me too. A bit quick though... Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, they are all "too quick", but man, Saturday specifically just flew by. It's all good though, we put in a little extra effort on Sunday to sloooow iiiit dooooown aaaaaa smmmmiiiiiiiiiiiiiidddddddgggg ggge. Niiiiiice.................. Okay, before we get to the goodness, got some heads up to throw your way. First up, ads! Yep, we sold out. And by sold out, I mean we are [...]
Julia Mård You can probably scientifically and quantitatively prove that there is nothing fresh or original about what Swede Kristian Matsson does under his stage name of The Tallest Man On Earth . He's a folk-oriented singer-songwriter who's armed with just an acoustic guitar and a raspy, Dylan-ish twang and in those terms, is indistinguishable from an infinite number of performers in coffee houses around the world at any given moment in time. What sets Matsson above and apart is something more ineffable; a fine sense of melody, deft guitarwork and evocative turn of phrase, certainly, [...]
Hopefully I'm not over interpreting the update just posted at Loney Dear ’s Facebook page , but it certainly looks as if the band’s sixth album is almost finished? + I Am John mp3hugger calls Heart Stab by Champagne Riot “ this year’s sleeper anthem ” for the Ibizan dance floors. And don't forget to download the track. It's awesome! Register [...]
Joel and Linnea Edin are The Forest and the Trees , a Swedish husband and wife duo creating effervescent adult indie -pop replete with lofty melodies, laptop beats and sweetly ethereal vocal harmonies. Their official bio assesses their self-titled debut album as "a technicolor burst of Swedish sunshine" and we would have to agree. Just released in Europe and without a U.S. distribution deal, The Forest and the Trees is the ideal springtime soundtrack -- all that's missing is the gentle chirping [...]
