Drawing influence from the likes of The Stooges, Can and Suicide, they forged a relentless, droning guitar sound that eschewed traditional songcraft in favour of repetition and sonic experimentation. Their albums, including \u003ci\u003eHeaven’s End\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eA Gilded Eternity\u003c\/i\u003e, received critical acclaim and cult followings, helping to pave the way for the shoegaze and post-rock movements. After disbanding in 1991, Loop reformed in 2013, continuing to inspire a new generation of noise aficionados.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-language: JA; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\" lang=\"EN\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"mso-special-character: line-break;\"\u003e\u003c!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--\u003e\u003cbr style=\"mso-special-character: line-break;\"\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Loop","offers":[{"title":"BBC Radio Sessions - Clear 12\" EP","offer_id":51590796312849,"sku":"BBQ2683TE","price":22.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0882\/3937\/4609\/files\/1x1_BBC_Radio_Loop_v2.jpg?v=1748351686"}],"url":"https:\/\/store.beggarsbanquetrecords.com\/collections\/loop-collection.oembed","provider":"Beggars Banquet Recordings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
