You know us at TLOBF.. Always the first to bring you the latest Loney, Dear tid bits.. Well this is an extra special tid. Yup – we’ve got the tracklisting and album artwork for Swedish wunderkind Emil Svanängen’s new record Dear John which, at the moment, is said to be getting it’s release early 2009. The album has been on the cards for two years or more, with a large chunk of it being written before 2006’s Sologne was even released. A rigorous touring schedule made it difficult for Svanängen to finish work on the album which, according to the man himself has a darker feel than his previous releases. Look out for a super exclusive interview coming to TLOBF next week in where we have an in depth chat with Emil about the recording process of Dear John.
In the meantime – heres the tracklisting. I’ve heard two tracks already (Violent and Everything Turns To You) and let me tell you – Dear John will be one of the albums of 2009. You heard it here first.
