LONEY DEAR hits all the right buttons with his beautifully crafted songs about love and depair and everyday anxiety. A one man band with nine members, Loney, Dear is the alter ego of multi-instrumentalist and DIY expert Emil Svanngen. The beautiful acoustics of St Giles will provide the perfect environment for Emil’s unique voice and personal style of delivery.

“Despair has never sounded so sweet.”–Spin

“Svanangen’s captivating ruminations sound as if he’s trying to capture the purest essence of joy, albeit with a melancholy underbelly. It’s that bittersweet warmth that makes Loney, Dear’s hushed, pastoral folk songs seep into the heart.”–NPR

“He wraps the ups and downs of a whirlwind romance into tiny packages. You’re left hungry, fully certain that 34 minutes– let alone five– willnever be enough of this very, very good thing.”–Pitchfork

“Through soft layers of acoustic instrumentation and vocal harmonies, Svanangen creates a sustained and lasting representation of the classic emotions of regret, peace, and loneliness.” –PopMatters

“Svanangen’s bright falsetto holds his miniature musical tapestries together.” –Austin Chronicle
