Description:

Loop's groundbreaking music continues to evolve and grow in the most surprising ways on Sonancy. Robert Hampson's highly anticipated fourth LP 'Sonancy' (Latin for â??noise/soundâ?) is the perfect documentation for these strange times. Dynamic, dystopian, justifiably angry and unabashedly Loop-ian, it is an album that marks a vital revival for Hampson. and co. Specifically for this record, Hampson wanted to go against the idea of the Array EP, on which all songs were longer and drawn out. With Sonancy he also wanted to take a post-punk sound, turn it upside down and mix it with a psych influence. A total mix. It's always been Loop, this medley of punchy rhythms. The record translates as very urgent. The songs are shorter in length, the lyrics more minimalistic than ever. Hampson is the only original member, Loop's current lineup has been pretty stable for the past six or seven years. Wayne [Maskel, drums] and Hugo [Morgan, bass] from The Heads (a fantastic rhythm section), and Dan [Boyd] on second guitar, who offered them his services. -

"Style-wise, it's incredibly different, going back to thinking about guitars and guitar sounds. Obviously you have to take into consideration things like percussive elements such as drums, which I haven't been using in my other projects; but this is the mindset that makes up Loop." So says Robert Hampson, the indefatigable visionary behind inspirational sonic architects Loop, whose eagerly anticipated fourth LP Sonancy (Latin for "to create noise") is the perfect document for these strange times. Dynamic, dystopian, righteously angry and unashamedly Loop-ian, it's an album that marks a vital re-emergence for Hampson and Co. 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. As critics enthused at the time, Loop were the sound of Suicide jamming with the Stooges aboard a spaceship built by Hawkwind and piloted by CAN. They were post-psychedelic, pre-shoegaze figureheads in a world of anodyne pop jangle and baggy rhythms, and even their closest contemporaries like Spacemen 3 and My Bloody Valentine didn't plough such a distinctive furrow as theirs.
