Loop - Sonancy CD (Mega Blowout Sale)
SKU
23-Reactor 06
“Formed in South London in the mid-1980s, Loop blazed a trail with their potent mix of motorik beats and heavy guitar riffs, recording a trio of brilliant albums that set the indie charts alight before imploding in 1990 after the release of album number three, A Gilded Eternity. They were post-psychedelic, pre-shoegaze figureheads in a world of anodyne pop jangle and baggy rhythms. Today, Loop stand as innovators in a musical world that has embraced and followed their defiantly individual sound - there are hundreds of contemporary neo-psych artists out there who arguably would not exist without Loop's pioneering music. Loop has returned, with music that continues to evolve and grow in the most startling of ways on Sonancy.”
“So Loop are back after a pretty lengthy absence.... about 30 years by my reckoning ? However little has changed in their soundworld for sure, although they are definitely better recorded here than on their earlier work and as a result each instrument gets better represented.
The melodies sometimes recall joy division here, but the sound is very much Loops....Fuzzy, repetitive guitars, ambient textures drifting across the top, stuttering beats and an all pervading, doomy Psychedelic atmosphere.
All that considered its probably their best record. "sonancy's" hazy, hypnotic ache feels more at home in todays music world than it ever did before.”-rym
