Sonancy

Style-wise, Loop's fourth LP, "Sonancy," is a departure from Robert Hampson's previous projects, focusing on guitars and guitar sounds while incorporating percussive elements like drums. Formed in South London in the mid-1980s, Loop gained recognition for their unique blend of motorik beats and heavy guitar riffs. "Sonancy" is described as dynamic, dystopian, and unapologetically Loop-ian, embodying a vital re-emergence for the band. Critics once likened Loop to the sound of Suicide jamming with the Stooges on a spaceship crafted by Hawkwind and steered by CAN. Post-psychedelic and pre-shoegaze pioneers, Loop's music stood out in a sea of mainstream pop and baggy rhythms. "Sonancy" is a perfect reflection of these strange times, showcasing Loop's signature sound and innovative approach to music.
