Loop 2.4.3, "Zodiac Dust"

ANALOG arts has partnered with Music Starts From Silence to produce Loop 2.4.3's sophomore album, Zodiac Dust. The album is a 45-minute head trip, a throwback to days of yore when bands like Return to Forever or King Crimson would take you on an instrumental sonic adventure.

The similarities stop there, though. Loop 2.4.3 sort of sound like a collaboration between Harry Partch and Brian Eno. The title track from the album features strings and a gorgeous progression of textures.

We'll preview more of the album before its official release on June 16. Between now and then, Loop will be busy performing and promoting the album. (They'll be in Cambridge tomorrow night at the Lily Pad, if you happen to be in the neighborhood.)
