Weaver At The Loom

From the moment you start the first track of Weaver At The Loom's EP "I was searching and I found" you are immediately taken to a different world filled with clouds of rich ambient tones, intricate and eccentric rhythms and a level of honest thought provoking lyrics that is unlike anything you have experienced before. Weaver At The Loom is based out of the Minneapolis area and is composed of keyboardist and co-lead vocalist Dan, co-lead vocalist and guitar player Izaac, drummer Matt and lead guitarist Mike. Together they form one of the most dynamic groups to come out of Minneapolis in the past several years. 

According to the bands myspace co-lead vocalist and keyboardist 
Dan explains that the focus of their lyrics are on "exploring the temporary nature of life and attempting to cope with it at the same time." The band goes on to explain that they put an "emphasis on the production and lyrical content of their songs in an effort to help listeners understand and appreciate the contemplative nature behind these mini-epics." Weaver At The Loom attempts to accomplish this goal through their instrumental and coal arrangements as well as through the names of their songs. When all five of the names of their songs on their EP are read together is creates a sentence stating "Buck up, they're coming, you can't escape them, you can't evade them, but you can enjoy life before and
 after, without fear of their return." 

Weaver At The Loom has received multiple positive reviews for their EP "I was searching and I found" and a highlight comes from a review from absolutepunk.net in which it states "In poignant mimicry of the thematic metaphor, each rivulet of song flows into the next, blurring the lines between track breaks into a melodic current of elegant instrumentation and gorgeous atmospheres." While the band members in Weaver At The Loom average a young age of only 21 the guys have accomplished a lot and express a musical wisdom beyond their age.
