Loka-Passing Place b

Loka, Ninja Tune芒鈧劉s cult psychedelicists, purveyors of cinematic music that disturbs and troubles and intrigues rather than comforts, return with a new album, Passing Place. With many acts finding considerable critical acclaim in the music world right now through adventures in the outer reaches of psychedelia/jazz/classical, it’s worth remembering that Loka have been ploughing this field with stunning results ever since their debut track on Ninja Tunes 10th birthday compilation Xen Cuts in 2000. The debut album proper was Fire Shepherds in 2006 and since that album, co-founder Karl Webb left Loka, leaving Mark Kyriacou to carry the banner. Mark re-grouped with members of the live Loka band and went about sketching out ideas later to become Passing Place. The result is their most confident and cinematic album yet being less claustrophobic and inward than before.

Passing Place is Loka’s latest record which is to be released this November via .
