Looms.

Looms., also known as languid looms. (stylised in lowercase with a period) is a British hip-hop artist, singer-songwriter and one half of the cloak-and-dagger recording duo languid.oceans. His music crosses multiple styles and genres, ranging from alternative hip-hop to lo-fi and outsider folk.

Backed by a line-drawn image of an unexplained face, looms. found unexpected success after drip-feeding a series of intimate and alienating demos onto Soundcloud in 2015. Without the support of labels, press or official videos, his music organically spread throughout the internet, gaining millions of independent streams and radio spins before his first official project release.

looms. is known to shy away from interviews and social media (beyond a private Instagram account), refusing to offer the world any images of himself beyond the hand-drawn face. He established his own imprint, The Lo & Behold Construction Company, in 2023 with the album 'Saints Are Hard to Live With', which was sold exclusively through handwritten letters.

looms. continually releases music privately on his website, as well as periodical chapbooks of poetry by a writer named Andrew Keyman.
