Loney Dear :: My Heart

Loney Dear :: My Heart

In 2009 we reviewed Loney Dear's Dear John, a heavy and rather dark album that seemed a bit out of place for the usually uplifting songwriter. Today brings the announcement of the band's new album Hall Music, out this fall. The first single, "My Heart" strikes the perfect balance between the group's earlier joyful sound and the maturity of Dear John. Like traditional Loney Dear songwriting, the song slowly rolls and gathers steam (and church bells) as it goes, arriving at a perfect blend of several layers, only to diminish as it began - with the light plucking of banjos. Highly recommended. [via Stereogum]
