Minutos Musicales: Loney, Dear

Estimados,
que ganas tenía yo de presentaros a este grupo sueco (Loney, Dear)..... capitaneado por Emil Svanängen, aunque bien se podría decir que él es el grupo.

Ya tiene publicados 5 albums de auténtico infarto musical y esperemos que antes o después el colectivo fikasound (http://www.fikasound.com/) consiga traerselo de gira porque será uno de los conciertos imprescindibles del año sin lugar a dudas.

De sus canciones mucho se puede decir pero lo mejor es escucharlas y sentirse atrapado por su magnetismo, por su esencia, que mucho y nada tiene que ver con otros grupos ya que tan personal es su forma de manifestarse y cantar como lo son las claras y oportunas comparaciones que se le pueden hacer en el lento discurrir de los temas de su último disco.

Aquí os dejo una perla de disco del 2007.

"Emil Svanängen self-released his first album, The Year of River Fontana, in 2003. Recorded in the basement of his parents' home in Jönköping with a minidisk microphone and a home computer, released on home-made CD-Rs, and sold only through his website and at live performances, it became popular on word-of-mouth alone. The next two years saw Svanängen record and release three more albums.

When Loney, Dear play live, Svanängen is joined by Samuel Starck (keyboards), Malin Ståhlberg (tambourine, vocals), Ola Hultgren (drums), and David Lindvall (bass).

In 2006 Loney, Dear was signed by U.S. record label Sub Pop. Sub Pop released Loney, Dear's fourth album, Loney, Noir, on February 6, 2007.

Loney, Dear recently toured America, opening with Pigeon John for Of Montreal, and as of April 2007, are on a North American tour with fellow Sub Pop labelmates Low.

Loney, Dear is currently touring Europe, having just finished a tour supporting Chicago post-rockers The Sea and Cake. In Britain, he supported the London band Athlete on their UK tour and Maps at their Kings College London Student Union show."
