"...When a band with tremendous musical chops, harmonies and songwriting ability begins to accumulate critical praise, as The Loom have throughout 2008, it is only a matter time before the word spreads and the crowds grow..."

"...It’s pretty impossible to fake the French horn, and Lis Rubard set an example for all you punks out there who think it looks easy, at times leading the entire crew with its gentle tenor..."

"With Brooklyn churning out bands of all stripes at all times, it's becoming more and more difficult to tell them all apart, let alone corral one whose music might send your heart aflutter. But wait! Hearts are FLUTTERING. Working heavily in gothic watercolors, the Loom kick out glow-in-the-dark folk wailers that flirt with the anthemic, but never abandon the quiet spaces they were born in. It's a balancing act exemplified most bodaciously by both tracks we're proudly sharing today, the excellent "Song For The Winter Sun" and the exclusive "Of Vegas And Vanity." Wait for the brainlight to shine full blast at just about the one minute mark on the latter. So bright."

"...The Loom is a bright, shinny gold star over the heart of Brooklyn right now. Somewhere on the other side of the Williamsburg Bridge there is a talent pool –The Loom has selfishly been drinking this water! Their debut EP, At Last Light might just give much needed substance back to all those NYC hipsters still rockin’ giant Nikes, ironic mustaches and 80’s hair [...] The Loom is a ‘tell-your-friends-about-this-band’ band. At Last Light is a well-configured compilation of simple but honestly invigorating hymns mixed with an intoxicating male/female duo that brings a full-flavored harmony to each track leaving each new listener begging for a full-length LP."

"...Their french horn/trumpet player, Lis Rubard, gives the act considerable lift..."
