Loom:ngs

“We want to use our musical and lyrical sensibilities to explore the relationship between what is being said and what is being heard.” This collaborative goal was the genesis that brought together singer-songwriter ZOLA (Zola Johnson) and producer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Daniel Loumpouridis. What began in a college dorm room in 2015 has merged into the group Loom:ngs, a signature blend of the duo’s crystalline production, soaring pop hooks, and impressionistic lyrics.


The wordplay and imagery from Zola Johnson creates a lyrical canvas for Loom:ngs that tightropes the fine line between clarity and abstraction. By singing in both English and her native French language, Zola’s multicultural French and South African heritage further adds to the story-telling arsenal of the duo.


The credit for Loom:ngs’ expansive, multilayered electro leanings goes to Daniel Loumpouridis. As producer and co-writer, his creative sonic flares and dark lit grooves live somewhere in the middle of modern noir soundscapes and synth-pop grandeur.


Loom:ngs’ combination of powerful–and sometimes devastating–lyricism paired with pop melodies and descriptive production holds both artists up as individuals while simultaneously defining itself as its own entity. Their debut EP, released in August of 2018, is already gaining traction as their second single, “Fault Line”, is currently in rotation worldwide at both Chipotle and H&M franchise locations.
