Do yourself a favor and check out Loney, Dear’s new video for “Airport Surroundings”. Then, once you’re done, do Loney, Dear a favor and vote for the video on mtvU’s The Freshmen. THEN, do yourself another favor (because you’re a special person and you deserve it) and pick up a copy of Loney, Dear’s new record, Dear John, here.

It was a pleasant surprise stumbling across this artist. I was running around YouTube, looking for music video directors when I found Loney, Dear’s video for their track “Saturday Waits”. It consisted of dogs doing things with human hands, reminiscent of the Swedish Chef skits on the old Muppet show (not really, but my brain made the association). Creepy! Since then I’ve been hooked. Their delicately crafted songs and jangly hooks bring no other artist to mind when trying to compare them. All I can really say is that they’re Swedish (like the Chef) and the song below will be caught in your head for at least a few weeks. It’s off of their new album, Dear John [polyvinyl], in stores January 27th, 2009.

I stumbled upon the band Loney, Dear on accident. I was looking for music video directors across the world wide web and randomly saw their video for “Saturday Waits”. It kicked the crap out of my love for things moving, sweet, and (somehow) borderline depressing. Their release on Subpop, Loney Noir, found a staple place in my CD player on long car rides and on my iPod while taking a hot piss on a cold winter’s night. The tracks below are also available on their website.
