Emil Svanangen is a cuddly compulsive songwriter from Sweden whose heart pumps pure, high-grade twee. His songs are tentative, sweet, and irrepressible all at once, and they tend to gather energy as they go, bubbling over like an endearing record nerd's barely suppressed enthusiasm for his pet band. Then, at the end, they shoot skyward, spilling trumpets, oboes, flutes, and "na-na-nas" all over the place-- it can sometimes seem like Svanangen was engineered in a lab by movie execs to soundtrack indie films about quirky young love. His 2007 Sub Pop debut, was charming, slight, and egregiously misnamed: Loney Dear is about as "noir" as a squirming puppy.
