Gwil Sainsbury helped push alt-J into the mainstream, before opting to leave the Mercury Prize winning band in 2014.
Since then, he's been looking at music in a fresh way and building his own electronic music project from the ground up.
LOOR represents the culmination of these efforts. It's about the connection between the personal and the technical, moving between pumping experimental dance music and sonorous, atmospheric songwriting.
The name itself is a Cornish word for a moon deity, and this animistic viewpoint frames the earthly sounds and visions that LOOR's work evokes.
Bex is a Bristol-based DJ / producer making waves in the underground Bristol scene, with a monthly radio residency on Noods Radio whilst developing the sound of her original productions and label releases on Mantissa, Comma Traxx and Elicit Records. She is behind some of Bristol’s emerging collectives including ‘Down To Earth’ and ‘WOMEN*S PRODUCER GROUP’, a community for women and non-binary people interested in music production.
Bex released her debut electronic album, ‘Reflections’ in 2023, receiving support from BBC Introducing and DJ Mag. After her 2023 Boiler Room debut and a following year of gigs including Glastonbury, Secret Garden Party and Shambala, she’s now back in the UK and musically re-inspired after a 4 month trip to South America.
