Lonely Dear has, through his previous albums combined home-made indie pop with classical ideas, and this time, frontman Emil Svanängen taken genre mix a step even further. In 2010 he toured Sweden with a chamber orchestra and the process of arranging his old songs for the orchestra became a key influence on how “Hall Music” was written. With an expanded and more elaborate sound Svanängen’s emotional range is further highlighted. ’Hall Music" shifts from the spiritual to the sensational with such an easy grace that it serves as a testament to the extraordinary musicianship of this visionary romantic.
