Loney Dear
Loney, noir
Sub Pop/self-released
Already a bit, but soon to be probably even more, talked about Loney, Dear (or Emil Svanänge, which is his real name) move in the territories of atmospheric slow pop songs. Quite often it reminds me of the more mellow songs of The Flaming Lips. "Loney, Noir" is a great album that I know I will listen to for some months to come, it's very pleasant and it's one of the few albums I've listened to lately that makes me want to chill out in my bed and do nothing but listen to it from start to finish.
