'Fire Shepherds' is the long awaited psyche jazz rock masterpiece
from LOKA.
The Liverpudlian duo KARL WEBB and MARK KYRIACOU made their debut on
NINJA's "Xen Cuts" compilation all the way back in 2000 and ever
since then there has been a sense that something special might come of it.
Now, in 2006, it's time for their debut full length. And we think
you'll agree, it was worth twiddling your thumbs for.
"Fire Shepherds" is an album outside of time, immune to
trend. You could
argue that like Cinematic Orchestra the duo share an interest in the movie
soundtrack as something to set our own lives to.
It's an album that illustrates Loka's love of cascades of emotive
strings and the jazz/rock experiments of the late sixties and early seventies.
Loka have created a music which at times sounds like Miles Davis jamming
with Carl Craig and the Kronos Quartet. Only a lot more fun than that.

successfully navigate the avant-garde, ending up somewhere between Tortoise and
The Cinematic Orchestra" JOCKEY SLUT.
