Big news! Sometimes a solo artist, sometimes a nine-piece band - whatever you want to call it, it's Loney, Dear and they've just signed to Sub Pop. The label will be bringing 'em over in October to show them off at CMJ (and maybe for a few other dates) and will be releasing the band's album "Loney noir" in February. The band first made a name for themselves back home in Sweden by self-releasing a number of well-received CDRs, eventually garnering more and more fans and good press. DIY pays off! In other news, UK-based label Something in Construction will be releasing a 7" single for the track "The city, the airport" in September, just in time for a UK tour. And to add to the hype, BBC 1 will be playing the band's Maida Vale session tomorrow (August 1) on the Huw Stephens show.
