Loop to record first album in 30 years next month

Loop have confirmed that they're heading into the studio next month to record their first album since 1990.

Music Week reports that Loop are preparing to record their first album in three decades next month.

The upcoming album will be their first since 1990's A Gilded Eternity, and will be released via Cooking Vinyl.

Loop are reportedly due to begin recording the album next month, and have started pre-production on the LP already.

Robert Hampson of Loop said, "I think we can all agree that it’s been a painfully weird year. The music industry has been literally turned on its head in all shapes and forms. For bands especially, with the lack of shows and most likely, the shortage of studio time until recently, it feels odd to be making this announcement. But it’s been a pretty weird few years for Loop in general, so to feel there is a little bit of light and faith in us from Rob and the crew at CV is nothing short of pretty damn marvellous. Rob and I go way back from the days of yore when he was part of our old management team, so it’s great to have a bit of history there."

Although the band haven't released an album since 1990, Loop did reunite to release their Array 1 EP in 2015 - their first new material in 25 years.
