LOOM are set to release a cassette containing five versions of material by Bad Brains, Pixies, The Jesus Lizard and more.
It's difficult to know where to peg LOOM. Surveying the wreckage of a single earlier this year, Clash opined that they were: "Garage rock bathed in hallucinogenics, the grunge kids opening themselves up to a brutalist mysticism."
Which is probably where we still sit. Thankfully, LOOM have decided to open up slightly, recording a new cassette containing five pieces of music recorded by artists who act as an inspiration to them.
Out on Monday (August 19th) the EP contains a re-working of 'Caribou' by Pixies, as well as a version of 'Big Take Over' by seminal hardcore crew Bad Brains. The Jesus Lizard's 'Seasick' gets re-worked, while material from GG Allin and Warsaw (pre-Joy Division) also appears.
Check out LOOM's take on 'Big Take Over' by Bad Brains.
