Loop - Arc Lite
Review by Cris Gallo
Arc Lite, the latest album by Loop, is a mesmerizing journey through the depths of psychedelic rock. The band's signature sound is present throughout the album, with distorted guitars, pulsating basslines, and hypnotic rhythms that create an otherworldly atmosphere.
The album opens with "Aphelion", a slow-burning track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The song builds gradually, with layers of guitar and keyboard adding to the intensity, before finally exploding into a wall of sound. This is followed by "Precession", a more upbeat track that showcases the band's ability to create catchy melodies without sacrificing their experimental edge.
Throughout the album, Loop maintains a balance between experimentation and accessibility. Tracks like "Radial" and "Coma" are more straightforward, with catchy hooks and sing-along choruses, while others like "Fever Knife" and "The Nail Will Burn" are more abstract, with swirling soundscapes and unconventional song structures.
The production on Arc Lite is top-notch, with each instrument and sound occupying its own space in the mix. The album has a warm, analog feel that adds to the overall atmosphere of the music.
