I'm on mobile so I can't do a proper link.

Yeah he does. That dubfx guy is weak.

This Mylets vid is great:

^That era Mylets is my shit. New Mylets is pretty meh.

Deerhunter occasionally busts out dank assed loops too.

I need to loop more with my band.

I'm not sure what defines "creative" looping, but I'ma just say: Premature Ejaculation.

To me, good/creative looping is using loopers to not just to make repetitive layers that are built up and constrain a songs movement. That does mean a certain part can't be looped for a long time. Just if a part or parts make movement difficult. It of course depends on the style of music. Ambient and drum based stuff is different - the former can get away with long repetitive parts cause the loop beginning and end points are often obscured.

Battles, or Don Cab had some great looping stuff. Dave's slicing of looks in "Atlas" is a great effect/ sonic scape.

Dave from Minus the Bear makes these great little parts/layers that are instrumental parts of songs but don't keep the songs from going anywhere. They work with the music.

The Mylets video I posted I think highlights a lot of looping potential. He uses the digidelay for these big layered short loops which get looped by the M9 and he uses the undo/redo on the M9 to bring a different drum beat layer and guitar parts back in and out of the song. It works so well and everything flows. Plus Henry from Mylets is a great player and creative.

You will want to check out a guy called ThePeteBox he is a brilliant loop artist, he's done some pretty cool covers.

Giraffes? Giraffes!

Guy is a genius.

Same. Was mental.

Also Nadja are great at this.

Seen a similar Lichens set openingb for Sleep. He had some more shit with him on stage but it was beautiful. All the generic metalheads talked thru the whole set, but from where I was on the second floor it was a washy hum of human voices that actually worked really well with his music.

How has Brontide not been mentioned?

My fave album of 2012 (although it came out 2011).

The follow up album isn't bad, but nowhere near as good imo.

Their sessions from Cut Loose is cool too, if you just want one off songs. Youtube it.

I mean, Planning For Burial is a pretty prime example. Not massively creative, especially not by Faldoe's description of creative looping, but he does it so well that I feel he deserves a mention here.
