Loney Dear celebrates 20 years as an artist with a new album and tour. The project is the singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Emil Svanängen's own playground where naked and contrasting songwriting meets complex production - open and uplifting but also heartbreaking. Peter Gabriel refers to Emil as Europe's answer to Brian Wilson, while The Sunday Times describes him as "one of the most inspiring and healing voices you will ever hear." With him he has a new record - which is about the small and big things: friends, generations and his girlfriend - and a tailor-made band that creates an evening with goosebumps and warmth. "Emil is a fantastic communicator. […] He has a characteristic sound that I could listen to for days." (Northern Lights)
