Katie Gately's 'Loom' - "an early contender for best electronic album of the year"

'Loom' wasn't supposed to sound like this - Kate Gately was already making her second album when her mother got ill and died, and the electronic musician scrapped those, and made 'Loom' during the process of her mother going away. And you can hear it - there's darkness, aggression, climax, coldness. Exclaim hears it as "a swirling mix of eerie atmosphere, devastating emotion and brilliant sonic abstraction", and Paste Magazine says "her bleak soundscapes eschew linear, melodic structures in favor of atmosphere, sound design and samples". MusicOMH writes that 'Loom' "is an intense record, full of feelings of loss, confusion and angst. It’s also an early contender for best electronic album of the year".
