Emil Svanängen and his music under the name Loney Dear are in constant transformation, not least on stage. What remains constant is his navigation of the tug-of-war between wanting to steal the spotlight and seeking solitude. With the new album Making Friends is Easy, Loney Dear creates a record born at the intersection of these extremes.
For nearly 25 years, Emil has, through his Loney Dear alias, enchanted and astonished audiences around the world. There’s a reason Peter Gabriel once referred to him as “Europe’s answer to Brian Wilson.”
Live, Loney Dear is always carried by an intensity and presence that surpasses most. It is always delivered with utmost seriousness, always exceptional. He comes to Stora Teatern together with his band.
