Loney, Dear

(Fri 18th / 7.30pm / £7 adv)
Enchanting, sunkissed folk pop from the hotly tipped Swedish musician. Loney, dear is the work of multi-instrumentalist and home-recording phenomenon Emil Svanängen. The sound plugs into the unmistakable tradition of joyous Swedish pop, and Loney, dear gives it an indie twist, with the kind of luscious, orchestral backing arrangements that made Sufjan Stevens a star.
His songs seem to bloom like time-lapse photography, depicting glimpsed scenes of modern disaffection and timeless yearning. Simultaneously effervescent and resigned, exhilarating and melancholy, joyous and confessional, he has signed to Sub Pop and is touring with five-piece band complete with guitar, drums, organ, bass-guitar claps and the most impossible falsetto harmonies.
