Innovative and influential English group Loop return with their fourth album, Sonancy, on March 11 via the Cooking Vinyl label. The cult band, led by guitarist Richard Hampson, released their last full-length album A Gilded Eternity 32 years ago, back in 1990.
They split after making that Top 40 record, before re-forming for shows in 2013 and 2014. Their 2015 EP, Array 1, was intended as the first in a series of three but, Hampson says, “I dropped the idea and went in an entirely different direction. I started writing songs that were much more immediate, tighter, dare I say more aggressive. It needed to sound more modern.”
