Amsterdam-Antwerp indie rock formation Loupe has the unique gift of sounding both impulsive and hypnotic: a fluid sound in which styles such as synth pop, alternative folk and indie rock are expressed through their unique chemistry. The smooth, aerodynamic grooves of Annemarie, the melodic bass lines of Lana and the dynamic, virtuoso playing of Abel form a kind of secret language. The addition of singer Nina Ouattara gives Loupe a unique voice to push the band towards a new creative path; their 2024 EP Flaws of a Circle packs effortless grooves, memorable sing-along hooks and endless motorik krautrock loops, all held together by Nina’s moody, brooding lyrics.

The band’s debut album – Do You Ever Wonder What Comes Next? (Excelsior and Sinnbus) – was praised by the press and critics. After an eventful year with headline tours in The Netherlands, Germany and the UK, Loupe returns with it’s successor; EP Flaws of a Circle, released on May 3rd 2024.
