There's a lot going on with Sweden's Loney Dear these days. The new album, Dear John, will be released next Tuesday via Polyvinyl Records. Their video for "Airport Surroundings" is below and tour dates with Andrew Bird can be found after the jump. Also, so we're clear -- Loney Dear is the same band as Loney, Dear. The Swedes decided to drop the comma ...cos really, who gives a fuck (yuck, yuck). -IL
