Bio from www.myspace.com/weaverattheloom

"In a musical community that often thrives upon conformity, Minneapolis-natives Weaver at the Loom are making progressive strides away from constrictive genres and templates. While maintaining a coinciding attitude of respect for the classics, they have attempted to reshape what is already timeless. Mixing the harmonious and atmospheric elements of groups like Explosions in the Sky and The Album Leaf with the songwriting grace of compositional masters Death Cab for Cutie and Coldplay, the group’s first release "I Was Searching and I Found" is one of the most uniquely beautiful pieces of music to come out of Minneapolis this year. This 30-minute, 5 song concept disc takes the listener along for an incredible journey that songwriter and co-vocalist Dan Smith explains as "exploring the temporary nature of life, and attempting to cope with it at the same time." The group places a strong emphasis on the production and lyrical content of their songs in an effort to help listeners understand and appreciate the contemplative nature behind these mini-epics. For a band at the average age of only 19, they are certainly attempting to undertake some weighty endeavors."

RTC.net opinion
The music that this band puts out is incredible! Most of the songs are much slower than anything else that I would listen to, but their music is strangely addictive. It has such a full rich sound and shows the maturity of the band. "Without the Fear of Their Return" is my favorite track on their EP, which is available on iTunes, as well as the Snocap store on the ir myspace. Their message is not outwardly spiritual or religious, but you can feel the hearts of the band and where they are in the lyircs. WATL should be your new favorite chill music.
