Since he put out one of my favorite records of 2007, I thought I would make special mention that Sologne by Loney, Dear (Nils-Emil Svanangen) is being re-released domestically on Tuesday, September 25 by the Rebel Group. It’s really a great record, I recommend that you pick it up. |
Here’s a little bit of self promotion from Loney, Dear’s latest MySpace Bulletin:
FINALLY! the 2006 self released (Dear John Records) album SOLOGNE, is finally seeing a proper United States release on Tues Sept 25th through the Rebel Group.
This means you can get it from your local music store and favorite download store (iTunes, Rhapsody, etc….).
SOLOGNE is the album that first drew an international audience of critics to profess thier new love for the band (such as quotes below):
“Shameless romanticism, imaginatively arranged, always catchy” 4/5 Times
Curiously bewitching”¦with the dreamlike quality attributed to Sufjan”¦reminiscent of Flaming Lips”¦exhilarating” 4/5 UNCUT
“The City The Airport” is maybe the happiest song ever about unhappiness” Popmatters.com
“The best indie/folk band nobody’s heard of (yet)” James Jam NME
