Le Loup, Nurses, and Zorch at Mohawk
The title of Le Loup’s second album, Family, signifies both an expanded lineup for Sam Simkoff’s former bedroom project, as well as a retreat from the high-art pretentiousness encapsulated in his debut’s unwieldy moniker, The Throne Of The Third Heaven Of The Nations’ Millennium General Assembly. While Le Loup is still about the overlap among folk instrumentation, organic found sound, and digital tweaking, its experimental post-rock compositions have taken on a new pastoral serenity that—like Animal Collective and Yeasayer, the band’s closest relatives—gives Le Loup's techno tribalist fluttering some much-needed melodic warmth. Openers Nurses create a similarly ethereal hodgepodge on their recent Apple’s Acre, a phantasmagoric, slightly maddening psych-pop burble of brittle piano, ramshackle rhythms, and haunting electronics.
