Suffolk alt-pop artist Loome is swiftly becoming a rising star with a unique sound. Beneath the moniker lies multi-instrumentalist, producer and writer Tom Frankson, who has seen the project gain extensive Spotify editorial support, press acclaim and a host of award nominations.
Loome’s latest single is a peek into his upcoming debut album. ‘Mars’ crafts a distinctive and gritty alternative atmosphere. Building the soundscape with distorted synth and guitar melodies beneath a soft and elegant lead vocal, Loome crafts a vivid portrait with dark DNA. The chorus is a spacey firework of emotion and instrumentation, the highly individual production of Loome showcased through the haze.
Sharing the story behind the track, Loome shares, “This song felt so natural to write & produce. It was one of those tracks that I didn’t intentionally sit-down to write, it just happened and when I looked up (notably happier) there it was. The lyrics are inspired by Greek mythology… I was watching the movie 300 the night before and it obviously seeped into my brain along with some recent relationship struggles. These are themed around how anger can change someone’s personality and how love can be felt at the most turbulent times. ”
