Brooklyn sextet The Loom has harnessed the emotional power and
beauty of ensemble vocals and chiming instruments since 2006, drawing large crowds to its many live shows throughout the NY-area and northeast, and now performing live at Monkey Town on Saturday, June
13 at 8 pm with Phantogram.

With the release of its debut EP "At Last Light" the
rest of the world has likewise been able to enjoy the group's rich amalgam of folk and Americana-influenced indie rock featuring male and female vocals, acoustic and electric guitars, French horn, trumpet, piano, pedal steel, bass, drums, ukulele, accordion, and banjo. The EP boasts soaring and lilting songs ranging from gentle to anthemic and built around subtle, affecting lyrics. The Loom's sound has often been compared to artists like Smog, Arcade Fire, and Fairport Convention.

Says RCRD LBL: "With Brooklyn churning out bands of all stripes
at all times, it's becoming more and more difficult to tell them all apart, let alone corral one whose music might send your heart aflutter. But wait! Hearts are FLUTTERING. Working heavily in gothic watercolors, The Loom kick out glow-in-the-dark folk wailers that flirt with the anthemic, but never abandon the quiet spaces they were born
in."

Phantogram is the duo comprised of Sarah D. Barthel and Joshua M. Carter of Saratoga Springs, NY. Their music can be described as a culmination of unique street beat rhythms, and psychedelic melodies, with combined technology and organic textures.
