Loney Dear

Loney Dear is the moniker currently used by multi-instrumentalist and home-recording phenomenon, Emil Svanängen from Jönköping, Sweden. Until 2009, Svanängen recorded and released four records as Loney, dear. In 2009 he slightly changed this name, skipping the comma in Loney, dear. He is now recording and releasing music as Loney Dear. Both names exist on Last.fm, so (for as long as the two are not merged) please try to get this right: it differs per album!

Giles Likes Tea

They are five. Alan. The boy with the motorbike and the pale blue eyes. The boy who plays second-hand guitars and sings like Sunday mornings. Jenny. Twin. The girl who loves tea and teapots and tea. The girl who sings harmonies like they were meant to be and works the jingle jangle black white keys. Glen. Brother. The boy with the pashminas and the hair to die for. The boy who plays the drums like a jester and thrills with the tom tom fills. Stuart. Friend.
