WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS by WEBSTARR

Hailing from East London but otherwise shrouded in mystery, Loop LF makes a strong first appearance with this opening gambit for Well Street Records. There's a diverse array of sounds presented across this 12", with the intricate minimalisms of "Moon GZ" matching glitchy percussion with ethereal pad tones to great effect before "Ocean Drums" opens the sound out into a broader, fuller broken beat context. "Stepping Back" is an audacious production that makes full use of the space between the drum hits before "You Wouldn't Understand" heads into an overtly reduced, dubstep-minded headspace perfect for all lovers of the original FWD vibe in a modern setting.
