A House And A Fire LONEY DEAR A Lantern And A Bell LP 180g Vinyl Loney Dear is the singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Emil Svanngens idiosyncratic musical project where classic song-writing meets complex productions both wide open and uplifting as well as sensitive and heart breaking Recorded by Svanngen with producer Emanuel Lundgren in a mythical studio on western Sdermalm in Stockholm, A Lantern and A Bell is Loney Dears second album for Real World, following 2017s self-titled release. Maritime themes permeate across A Lantern and A Bell the album arrives bearing artwork depicting the international nautical flag for distress and Emils voice is frequently bolstered by diffused water sounds at dark low frequencies and the calls of sea birds. For those who know their Loney dear, the constant references to sea and ships are hardly something new. All that is an important part of my inner life, maybe a romantic dream of adventure, but also a phobia, a danger I cannot help but be drawn to, says Emil; Near where I live, freighters pass by every day and the sounds of their engines get into my head. And further into the music. Speaking about Emils new record on which he has consulted as a sounding board, label founder Peter Gabriel says; Sad soulful melodies that create space in your head that fill with memories dreams and tenderness. I am very proud that we are working with such a gifted songwriter. When youre isolating, what better than to be wrapped up in these beautiful imaginative constructions the work of a master.
