Loney Dear is the recording name for multi-instrumentalist and Swedish home-recording phenom Emil Svanängen.

Recorded alone in Emil’s tiny Stockholm studio apartment and in the comfort of his parents’ house in Jönköping, Dear John is an album of contrasts. It will cozy up next to you through the bleakest of winters and be your shade in the blistering summer sun. It’s an album that has been on Emil’s mind since the inception of Loney Dear.

With his first four albums, Emil has always aspired to perfection; he has always promised a masterpiece. Dear John is that record.
