The Loft are an English indie band, whose debut single was one of the earliest releases on Creation Records.
History

Formed in 1980 as The Living Room by Peter Astor (vocals, guitar), Bill Prince (bass), Andy Strickland (guitar) and Dave Morgan (drums), the band changed its name when they discovered a local music venue also called The Living Room. The venue was being run by Alan McGee, with whom The Loft struck up a friendship and played several gigs for. After signing to McGee's fledgling Creation Records label, the debut single "Why Does the Rain?" was issued in 1984. "Up the Hill and Down the Slope" was issued the following year, earning both band and label some critical success.

Peter Buck, Warzone Earth, 2015 on Mississippi Records

This is the third solo album from the former R.E.M. guitarist, all on Portland OR’s Mississippi Records. Frequent Buck collaborators present here include Scott McCaughey, Kurt Bloch, and William Rieflin. Buck’s wife Chloe Johnson adds harmony vocals on “Saturday Sunday Monday” and Jeff Tweedy guests on “World Spins Around You.”

It’s a mixed bag – I love Peter Buck but sometimes think he needs an editing eye – but some great stuff.

Recorded at Type Foundry in Portland by Adam Selzer.

My copy, with the “Helicopter” cover, via Crossroads Records in Portland OR – there’s also a version with a “Car” cover.

Wilco, Cousin, 2023 on dBpm

Wilco’s 13th full length studio album, produced by Cate Le Bon, and recorded at the Loft in Chicago. The cover artwork is by Azuma Makoto – see Frozen Flowers 2023. Truly a fantastic Wilco album – if you’ve fallen off the Wilco train time to get back aboard.

My copy via Waterloo Records in Austin TX

"Friction is common among people working on a shared goal, but it's especially distressing at The Loft, a holy space in underground music culture designed to transcend human pride. Built on a manifesto of egalitarianism, friendship and inclusivity, the get-together is modelled as a family-style reunion. Lofters are supposed to practise compassion and care with each other, not point fingers. "It's a scandal and David is turning in his grave now," lamented Giancarlo Bianchi, founder of Italy's The Last Note, a sister Loft party that he launched with Mancuso's blessing in 2013. "All of us feel sad and shocked by what has happened in New York." "—
