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 attempting to build something new from the ground up. LOOR represents the culmination of these efforts. It's about the connection between the personal and the technical, moving between experimental dance music and sonorous, atmospheric songwriting. The name itself is a Cornish word for a moon deity, and this animistic viewpoint helps frame the earthly sounds and visions that LOOR's work evokes.
