about the record

Following closely on the heels of 2023’s Tilt, Underloop foregrounds Luke Blair’s skill for building loops and sonic structures while amplifying his ear for emotional expression.

Fans of Lukid’s DJ sets will recognize his ability to vanish into loop-based abstraction and reemerge seamlessly. Underloop often feels like a collection of the sludgey interludes and foggy sketches that underpin those sets. Blending seemingly ramshackle melodies and textures into a cohesive whole, Blair’s gift for pairing the simple with the indescribable, with understated vigour, is fully on display.
