\"IG88 A Loom And Not Me<\/em> is the brand new album by IG88<\/a>, the moniker used by Seattle-born electronic artist Branden Clarke.
\nA Loom And Not Me<\/em> is an astounding and heartfelt album with beautiful melodies and harmonies combining lush electronics with organic instruments that won me over after just one listen.<\/p>\n

“Sometimes, we want sound \u2014 bleeps, burps, squawks, zips, static, clicks \u2013- and sometimes we want the kind of auditory sensation that swells our brain and dead-weds us to the measure. Sometimes we want a damn guitar. Most of the time, we want it all.” says the blurb that goes with the album’s release. “With A Loom and Not Me<\/em>, IG88\u2032s first release with Nueva Forma, our ears give praise. Collaborator Jenni Potts grabs your hand from the start and grounds the album throughout in a way that only an balletic, weightless voice can. Intentions of a Dart Frog<\/em> is a projectile, kinetic jam that won\u2019t let you go. Bed of Stars<\/em> enter just in time with the titular track to tie you up into a ball and bounce you on into the second half of things.
\nThen there are the brilliant clusters of abounding space in between until Coughing on Syrup Shores<\/em> clangs around in your jellied head like the guts of an arcade game and spits you back out like a contraband nickel that\u2019s just had the ride of its life. Listen for flux, for soul, for willful racket. Listen for it all.”<\/p>\n

A Loom And Not Me<\/em> is out today via audio\/visual label Nueva Forma<\/a>. Head over to bandcamp<\/a> to stream and buy the album.<\/p>\n

Here’s ‘Intentions of a Dart Frog (feat Jenni Potts)’ and ‘Gateway Hug’, two radiant tracks off the album. Enjoy.
