Sweden’s Emil Svanängen returns with a new album and less a band-name comma this January with Dear John, the follow-up to the orchestrated folk of Loney, Noir. The album’s lead track, “Airport Surroundings,” is darker and racier than anything from the last one, with a quick BPM, icy keys, and Emil in a fit of wanting nothing but you. Check it. Dear John is out 1/27 via Polyvinyl.
