When it comes to doing things around the house, the DIY thing can be a real pain. Sure, it's rewarding once you finally build that deck, in the 100 degree summer heat for four straight months, but from point A to B can be a long ride.
Emil Svanängen of Loney, Dear knows all about it. No, not about refinishing. About making four albums out of his studio apartment in Sweden, and selling CD-R's to anyone who would listen.
All of those years of laboring over his project have finally paid off, as Sub Pop in the US loved what they heard, and decided to show it off to the rest of us.
Imagine what folkish indie pop, like Belle and Sebastian would sound like with Brian Wilson like harmonies. In fact, you might hear a lot of comparisons to Sufjan Stevens, thanks to the use of several non-traditional instruments on the album. A nice release. Check it out.
