Today’s video of the day is Loop – "Fermion" released in 2022.
"Fermion" arrived in 2022 as a striking return from Loop. The track appears on Sonancy, released March 25, 2022. It is the band’s first studio album since A Gilded Eternity in 1990. The new video captures the dense sound and hypnotic energy that define Loop’s music. Formed in 1985, Loop built a reputation for noisy, repetitive, and psychedelic riffs. Their sound stood apart from both post-punk and shoegaze, though it touched both worlds. The band’s early albums, including Heaven’s End (1987) and Fade Out (1988), shaped their reputation. By 1990, A Gilded Eternity cemented their place as pioneers of heavy, drone-driven rock.
After the split in 1990, members explored new paths. Some formed Hair & Skin Trading Company, while Robert Hampson launched Main. Loop’s influence, however, kept growing across underground scenes. Their music inspired later bands exploring distortion, feedback, and repetition. The band reformed in 2013, playing live shows that reignited fan interest. Since 2017, Robert Hampson has remained the sole founding member guiding Loop. With Sonancy, Loop returned not as a nostalgic act but as a band pushing forward.
"Fermion" reflects that intent. The song carries the heavy repetition of earlier work, but with sharper production. It stands as a bridge between past and present, linking Sonancy back to the restless spirit of A Gilded Eternity. Yet it also looks ahead, showing how Loop continues to expand their sound. The video enhances this vision. Stark visuals pair with the music’s swirling, immersive quality. Viewers are drawn into the same hypnotic space that Loop has explored for decades. It demonstrates how the band still thrives in a modern setting. In many ways, Sonancy answers the long silence after 1990. "Fermion" is its boldest statement, proving that Loop’s sonic power remains intact. For longtime fans, it reconnects with the band’s legacy. For new listeners, it offers a direct entry into their unique world of sound.
