First, Le Loup means "wolf" in French. Second, wolf isn't solitary, live in packs. Le Loup is something like a pack but the pack of great musicians with leader Sam Simkoff. Seven band members and motley instruments like Arcade Fire. But not canadian they came from Washington, DC. When I'm listening Le Loup I always feel fresh and relaxed 'cause their music is soulful, calm, silent, fragile, sooth and has specific atmospheric. I like their combination of banjo line with other instruments or nature sound with some scratch or ... and definetely voices/whispers and sometimes sound of chorus.
The upcoming album of the lupine septet, The Throne of the Third Heaven of the Nations' Millenium General Assembly, is named from incredible work by James Hampton. More infos about his work here. Release date is September 11, 2007 at Hardly Art.
And very interesting inteview with Sam Simkoff you can find here.
So I have to recommend it and don't miss this talented band!
