Husky Loops

Gritty art-rock that treats the guitar like a sampler. Restless, groove-heavy songs for city dwellers who like their indie music with a sharp, glitchy edge.

Intro

Husky Loops sounds like the precise moment a rock band decides to stop acting like a rock band and starts acting like a hip-hop production crew. Their sound is defined by sharp, jagged edges: guitars that sound like they've been chopped and screwed, drums that hit with the mechanical thud of a MPC, and basslines that carry the weight of London's club scene. It is music that feels perpetually in motion, twitchy and alert, refusing to settle into a standard verse-chorus rut.

What makes them truly distinctive is their 'loop' philosophy. While most indie bands lean on organic flow, Husky Loops embraces the repetition and texture of electronic music. They integrate grime-inspired vocal cadences and glitchy production flourishes into a framework that still feels raw and physical. It is art-rock without the pretension, replaced instead by a street-level urgency and a fascination with how digital textures can make analog instruments feel dangerous again.

Start with 'Everytime I Run' to hear their most polished realization of this hybrid sound. It captures their ability to write a massive hook while maintaining a sense of sonic unpredictability. From there, dive into 'I Can't Even Speak English' to experience their more experimental, genre-blurring collaborations that push the boundaries of what a modern power trio can actually sound like.

Husky Loops is an Italian art rock band based in London, originally from Bologna. The band consists of singer, guitarist and producer Pier Danio Forni, bassist Tommaso Medica and drummer Pietro Garrone. As of September 2019, the group has released one album, three EPs, and one mixtape. They toured the world alongside acts such as Placebo, The Kills, Spoon and David Byrne. They have received critical acclaim from publications including Noisey, Clash and Billboard after being recognised for their ability to cross the boundaries of music genres; their sound stretches from rock to grime, also thanks to crossing paths with Boy Better Know’s Jammer.
