Loop

• Genre: Space Rock

About

Emerging from the garage for a few years in the '80s bleary-eyed and holding guitars set on reverb, Loop's mad, droning rock stretched infinitely out into space. Buzzing waves emit from guitars that echo outward in hypnotic ripples, splashing around in feedback and leaving a grainy trail of throbbing, dissonant noise. Their all-encompassing cosmic rock seems to swallow almost everything it encounters, including founding member Robert Hampson's vocals, which are less a distinct addition to the music than the noisy mortar that acts to solidify their ever-expanding wall of sound.
