This is a bit dated compared to our usual music posts we share but just watched "Dear John' with its accompanying Dear John: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack and really loved the story and the musical score which included 311, Joshua Radin, Fink, The Swell Season, and more...
[arting: 3.5] As the story goes, Emil Svanangen returned to Sweden after his last trip to the US, holing up in the country with various orchestral and chamber groups. One listen to his new album under the Loney Dear moniker and you'll see the grand effect the entire venture had on his writing, leading to a record with lush arrangements and careful touches, the like we haven't quite heard from Emil. If you're reading carefully, you can skip beyond album opener, "Name," as it really is more of a carry-over [...]
There's always something special about listening to Loney Dear . On the last effort, Dear John , I found myself drawn into some really spectacularly quiet songs that fit right into where I was emotionally. Emil's voice has this memorable pitch to it, and the construction of the songs has always done wonders to give it the most power. This new track comes from the group's upcoming record on Polyvinyl Records , Hall Music . You can hear the song [...]
Etta James - "I'd Rather Go Blind" While it's appreciated that Ms. James would be willing to trade her sense of sight for an opportunity to reunite with her former lover, it must be said that he has no interest in reuniting with her and sees no benefit for anyone in the promise of this adopted disability. As Ms. James knows, her ex has found a new partner, who, on the whole, he finds more desirable than he does Ms. James; blindness would make Ms. James no more attractive and thus would not change [...]
May 17th / Merge Records "Dear John" MP3
Filed under: What's That Song? 'Set the Fire to the Third Bar,' by Snow Patrol feat. Martha Wainwright If you've turned on a television at any point in the past month or so, odds are you've caught the commercial trailer for ' Dear John ,' the upcoming film starring newcomers Channing Tatum and Amanda Seyfried . Based on a story by ' The Notebook ' author Nicholas Sparks, Tatum plays a young soldier who falls in [...]
New video from Loney Dear [ MySpace ] whom we love and cherish deeply . His latest, Dear John , came out in January and it's really great. I am a bit sad that Emil has dropped the superfluous comma from the band name, but who am I to complain; I add my middle initial to my pen name and that makes me sound very pretentious, doesn't it? This tip game courtesy of Broken Dial/Radio Exile founder, Greg Wind , whom we all miss a great [...]
Emil Svanängen, mejor conocido en el mundo de la música como Loney Dear , acaba de estrenar el vídeo de "I Was Only Going Out" , el más reciente sencillo de su última producción Dear John . Este hombre y su banda se han ido ganando mi cariño en los últimos meses, gracias a las canciones tan bonitas que sacan y ésta no es la excepción. Un buen tema adornado por un vídeo dirigido por Ron Eyal, en el que se puede ver a una chica encobijada recorriendo la ciudad y corriendo al bosque [...]
It is fitting that Swedish singer-songwriter Emil Svanängen's band Loney, Dear toured with Andrew Bird in January of this year. Both Bird and Svanängen are as much mechanics as musicians—those rare birds that tinker with sounds until they are pulled taught. (One can imagine either of them walking to school as children, whistling and running sticks along fences just to hear the noise.) Watching Loney, Dear perform at Spaceland on Saturday threw this truth into greater light than a simple listen to their latest (wonderful) album, Dear John .

MP3: Loney Dear - Airport Surroundings MP3: Loney Dear - I Got Lost Frequent contributor Matt Giordano pointed out a little while back that it was insane how this blog hasn't posted anything about Loney Dear 's newest record "Dear John", which came out this past January. It's true: it's insane. I think that he's our most posted artist (or close to) and we've gushed over this music so many times. We haven't been sitting on it: I know that I've had the vinyl at my home [...]
Att Emil Svanängen betytt mycket i mitt liv skvallrar mitt last.fm-konto gladeligen om. Loney, Dear toppar min lista, med nästan exakt dubbelt så många uppspelningar som tvåan. Just i detta nu lyssnar jag för första gången igenom nya skivan Dear John . Jag har dragit mig för det länge. Inte velat ladda hem den, eftersom det känns som att skivan förtjänar mer än så. Inte kommit mig för att beställa den. Knappt ens läst en recension. Men när jag nu upptäckte att den kommit upp på Spotify [...]
Filmed by Mathieu Muller for I-Muzzik in Paris, France, this kind-of-not-official music video for Loney Dear 's somber Dear John track "Violent' is an exercise in 2D sketch drawing mixed with with true video shots, all set in a barren courtyard. In one shot, you get the best read possible of indie singer/songwriter Emil Svanängen. Dear John is out now. (mp3) Loney Dear - Airport Surroundings Godspeed!

Por Emmanuel ¿Qué hay en un año? Amores y pérdidas, triunfos y fracasos, muerte y vida; sobretodo, vida. Para Emil Svanängen, mejor conocido como Loney, Dear, transcurrieron dos años entre su disco debut, Loney, Noir , y su segundo esfuerzo llamado Dear John . Solamente podemos conjeturar qué le habrá pasado a este sueco de voz delgada en este periodo de tiempo, con un poco de ayuda de los posts que ha escrito en su blog: dolor, [...]
by ariana cammarano (pic by sara axelsson) Loney Dear really surprised me with his album Dear John . The last release was defiantly a fluff indie pop album but this one, well, it was intense, it was wonderful. Artist: Loney Dear [...]
The night is fleeting. Stars are shooting like years falling into a wishing well. The forest in the center of the city is my haven. Here nature becomes the to the fading streetlights. Here the darkest black becomes the brightest blue. This is where the sounds of Loney Dear 's Dear John make sense. An album that starts in a frenzy of movement and tension ends in deep thought and meditation. Dear John is an elegant album with a modern electronic framework (think The Notwist) put together with the kind human [...]
Never judge a book by its cover, or an album by it's first song; the latter is something I learned while reviewing Loney Dear's fifth full-length album Dear John. Loney Dear is the musical project of Emil Svanängen, and the album Dear John, released January 27th to the US, is a culmination of genres, experimentation, and perfectionism. Having never heard anything of Loney Dear before this album
Loney, Dear Loney Dear 's, new album, Dear John , came out on Tuesday ( January 27 ) and to mark the occasion Emil Svanängen and his band are embarking on their biggest tour of the US to date. Loney, Dear will be supporting Andrew Bird for a lot of this tour (which should be great exposure for him), but he'll be headlining Union Hall tomorrow night ( January 31 ) and playing an in-store gig at the [...]
Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars When you first press play upon your record player, you will immediately be transported to the days of yesteryear, listening to Warren G and Nate Dogg. Opening track, "Airport Surroundings," off of Loney, Dear' s newest album, Dear John , is drastically similar to a famed song from years back, but in a more electronic folk presentation. As the album moves forward, Regulators, mount up! If you could discard the merry tones of Emil Svanangen when listening [...]
