Discordant, elusive, and utterly hypnotic, Loop conjured a dark, trance-like spell that contrasted sharply with the prevailing British pop music trends of the late '80s and early '90s. Touching upon the likes of the Velvet Underground, the Stooges, and early Can in their sonic template, they resurrected the concept of space rock for a new era in tandem with fellow travelers Spacemen 3, creating droning soundscapes of bleak beauty and harsh dissonance. Initially, Loop only lasted only a few years, but what they created in that brief window -- highlighted by Heaven's End (1987), Fade Out (1988), and A Gilded Eternity (1990), the latter two of which topped the U.K. indie chart -- drew fascination and excitement from listeners for years to come. A 2013 reunion and intermittent activity afterward culminated with Sonancy (2022), the first Loop album in 32 years.
Members of Loop include, or have included, Robert Hampson and Neil Mackay.
