Swedish indie darling, Emil Svanängen, better known by his pseudonym Loney Dear, has returned after a six year hiatus with the single ‘Sum’. Off of his upcoming self titled LP, Svanängen has described the next assortment of fresh music as being a bit like “being out on the ocean swimming without anything to hold on to and now [I’ve] reached the beach.” Adding, “There have been terrible situations, I have found dark paths inside, I have learned about myself, I have discovered music, my artistry, my pros and cons. I must learn how to live without wanting to give up.”
