I have a confession to make: all I want to do right now is play with redesigning 100b and nothing else will capture my attention properly. (That’s advance warning that it may look kind of ugly or wrong around here once I get going, by the way.) Anyway, that means that I’m skimping on this edition of From The 100(mail)b(ox) and picking out just one band that deserves some attention.
The Loom has been waiting in our inbox since October, waiting for our sorry asses to get around to noticing them. Sorry about that, guys. From the ever-creative Brooklyn area, The Loom are a six-piece with a lovely folksy Americana sound with a twinge of Arcade Fire-ness. These six have been playing together since 2006, but their debut EP, “At Last Light”, was just recently released (available here from emusic) and is well worth a listen. I’m especially partial to “Song For The Winter Sun” (below) – nothing makes me happier than handclaps.
