Artist commentary:
Loop 1 is the formal name for the Mopac Expressway in Austin, Texas. On the occasions where it's not crowded with stop-and-go commuters, it's a quick way to cut through the quieter reaches of town, navigating through rolling prairie and surreal corporate offices. This track pulls from the sound of krautrock, copping the motorik beat and droning sensibilities of Neu! - a recording from the inside of a car riding along this would-be-autobahn slowly fades in over the escalating loops.
