synaptic loop   -  Profile

Artist/Band Profile: synaptic loop, has modernized the moog exotica of the ‘60s with a propulsive homage to analogue synths and a skam-influenced electronic aesthetic.

blankets of thick analogues bleep and gurgle, laced with blunted, jazzy manipulated beats and improvised keys. elements of dub, post-rock, and idm are spliced with the hallucinatory, hypnotic qualities of ‘70s krautrock, making for the sort of music that you’d expect to hear at the korova milk bar in a clockwork orange. this is the literary new wave of sci-fi; a jazzy, humanist take on the man-machine dichotomy.

synaptic loop's style of retro-futurism has been compared to add n to x, tortoise, air, and fuxa while maintaing their own brand of spacey analogue noodling, appealing to both fans of vintage synths and the detailed proto-electronica of yesteryear.
