Taking A Look Back At 2009

It impossible to listen to every album that gets released during 2009 in the many indie genres and sub-genres so it's very easy to pass by many albums that might have deserved a chance at...

Most Grievous of Errors

I have so many release dates running through my head during the year that sometimes they get mixed up and it doesn't help to try and keep track of both US and UK dates. Normally...

First to the Top Ten List

51e1ser6esl_ss500_ Loney, Dear‘s album Dear John was released this week under Sub Pop records and has the priviledge of being the first album on my Top Ten list of 2009.

Loney, Dear is comprised solely of Swedish singer-songwriter Emil Svanangen who records all the instrumentations himself and gathers friends together to play on tour.
