The Loom plays folk-influenced indie rock featuring male and female vocals, horns, guitars, keys, steel, mandolin and banjo in songs ranging from gentle to anthemic and built around subtle, affecting lyrics.
After releasing their debut EP, "At Last Light", in 2008, The Loom toured the northeast US and Canada and played CMJ Music Festival and Pop Montreal. In their shows on the road and at home, they shared bills with Rock Plaza Central, O'Death, Julie Doiron, Headlights, Evangelicals, Neva Dinova, Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson, Festival, The Antlers, Sharon Van Etten, These United States, and many more. In January 2009, they hosted a Pianos Residency with The Rural Alberta Advantage and others.
Music from “At Last Light” has appeared on "Good Morning America" and MTV's "Subterranean" as well as in “The Youngest Candidate" (along with music by Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson and others), a documentary about young Americans running for political office directed by Brooklyn filmmaker Jason Pollock (former assistant to Michael Moore) and produced by Lawrence Bender (“An Inconvenient Truth”) and David Letterman’s production company World Wide Pants. The film was released in the fall of 2008 and the soundtrack will see national release this fall with album art by Shepard Fairey.
The Loom is currently recording a full-length album set for completion in fall 2009, and they plan to follow its release with a national tour.
