Emil Svanängen's Loney Dear drew full attention to Mosebacke this last Sunday in October. His voice is amazing and the crowd watched the show in an attentively manner, letting the band conquer the venue. Or as Emil said after the second song "You are humbly silent". Sold out? Probably. One of our mic stands was heavily exposed to the crowd's movement but we managed to keep it standing and delivered a live stream for two hundred people in more than thirty countries. Loney Dear's latest album "Hall Music" is out now on Polyvinyl Records.

"My love affair with Emil Svanängens music continues. By far my artist of the year, the past couple of years in fact. There isn't much I can really say about the music that I haven't already said on this site in the past 12 months. Loney, Noir and indeed the previous three releases have been on constant rotation ever since I heard a live session on Gideon Coe's 6music show back in the summer of 2006. And, after seeing them live every chance I could get this year it's fair to say no other music around at the moment touches me in the same way as Loney, Dear does. There is nothing more I can really add to that. " The Line Of Best Fit
