Standout Tracks: I Was Only Going Out / Summers / Harsh Words
Though I've been aware of Loney Dear for some time, I unfortunately have not started to pay attention until now. Vocally reminiscent of Jason Lytle or Midlake's Tim Smith, Emil Svanangen sings some lovely tunes that honestly are not as singer/songwriter folk inspired as I was expecting. Basically meaning most of the tunes have a little more of a pleasant electronic feel, for example in the opening track "Airport Surroundings." Anyway, Dear John is out today via Polyvinyl.
* Album reviews are composed only after a few listens. Yes, opinions may change over time, but most first impressions (fortunately or unfortunately) seem to stick/hold true.
