THE LOOM
The Loom is a band from Brooklyn. Since releasing their debut EP ”At Last Light” in 2008, they have toured extensively in the United States and Canada, and played SXSW, Pop Montreal, CMJ and more. The band was recently featured in Paste Magazine’s “Best of What’s Next” series and was called a “next big thing” by the New York Times during CMJ 2010.

The New Yorker has said, “Beloved Brooklyn band The Loom…have lately been guiding their chamber-folk sound to decidedly louder sonic territory,” while the website NYCTaper wrote of their live show that, ”To say that The Loom’s performance was a revelation would be to understate the significance of this unit. They combine musical talent, strong writing, and an abundant amount of band camaraderie into an intense amalgam.” Daytrotter writes that The Loom “makes us believe that they’re the fathers and mothers of our cold and jagged memories, those that may or may not even be our memories for they feel so distant.”

The Loom recently completed its debut full-length album, ”Teeth,” which was released November 1, 2011 on Crossbill Records to great acclaim from NPR, AOL/Spinner, TimeOut New York, and many others, and accompanied the release with a national tour.
