about

The future stripped down to scarred skin and neon bones: this is the sound of Blue Loop, a one-woman electronic act formed by Emma Hall in 2018. Following a series of live shows honing her sound in London, Reykjavik and Berlin throughout 2019, she is now set to release her debut EP. Titled Grand Illusion, this digital-only release contains five tracks that meet at the intersection of ambient techno, IDM and progressive electronic. Mixed in collaboration with producer Danny Linton (aka Funk Ethics), it has a total runtime of 22:07 minutes and will be released on 4th December 2020.

Each track on GRAND ILLUSION treads a fine line between warm analogue synths and glacial drums, organic samples and artificial soundscapes, soft textures and harsh realities. Blue Loop taps into the key themes of our time – the climate crisis, social alienation, political inequality – and uses them as a springboard to create swirling, atmospheric tracks reminiscent of everything from Tangerine Dream and Vangelis to Boards of Canada, Kelly Lee Owens, Elysia Crampton and Throwing Snow (who she counts among her fans). The result: our very real fears become twisted and shattered, before being ultimately reconstructed into something that comforts us one moment and unsettles us the next.

about

Blue Loop London, UK

Foregrounding atmosphere and tone over traditional structure, Blue Loop follows the IDM blueprint set by the likes of Boards of Canada, crafting soundscapes from analogue synths and lo-fi beats.
