It can be lonely at the top; a fact
Emil Svanngen and his sparkling band of Swedes might want to grow accustomed to after they get through with what they have planned for America. Of course, such success would be sort of a "been there, done that" kind of thing for
Loney, Dear. Svanngen fashioned himself an instant winner when his CD-R demo somehow found its' way into the ever-loving hands of some employee of
Sub Pop. Though it appears Loney, Dear didn't hang on too long with the Seattle super label, recently they found themselves a mighty fine new home in the company of
Polyvinyl. The label is preparing to tear the wrapper off the band's new album
Dear John on January 27th.
In honor of their accomplishment, Loney, Dear will make the journey to the good ole u.s.of.a. for a couple of shows in NYC next month. Chances are, they'll find the whole experience so invigorating, they'll want to come back for a more thorough round of tour dates right around the time
Dear John makes its way to the consumer. Making the trip even
that much more worth it, they'll be playing the role of support for Andrew Bird. Snatch up all the information below. -
