Loney, Dear (not Lonely, Dear, as it is often called), a Swedish indie-pop band, is currently promoting its newest album, Dear John. The band has been the most successful of Sub Pop Records’ artists since the late 1980s when it signed grunge artists like Nirvana. Its “wistfully electronic pop ” sound has been often compared to Seattle band the Postal Service and Montreal-based band Arcade Fire, but the band has been recognized in Europe for its unique style.
