Looper
These Things
LOOPER have announced details of a 5 CD box set, collating tracks from their entire catalogue, including the brand new album, Offgrid:Offline.
In an inventive reinterpretation of ‘The Boxset’, Looper have curated the database of their entire body of work as five separate CDs, themed by type and entitled lexiphonics, kinokraft, voxtrot, transmitte and melos.
Inspired by mixtapes – and their modern day equivalent, the playlist – These Things puts the songs in new contexts, allowing new relationships between works previously kept apart. Looper explain, “For us this box is a repurposed, recycled and renewed work – an attempt to make something new out of something old”.
