Mobius Loop releases new album

Mobius Loop are a thrilling musical trio from Preston in the UK, known for blending folk, reggae, hip hop, and psychedelic rock to create something truly unique. Formed back in 2008, the band is fronted by the award-winning songwriting duo Alexander and Rose Orion, alongside internationally acclaimed percussionist Sean O’Hara.

Having begun as a local project performing around Preston’s open mic scene, Mobius Loop has grown into a force of grassroots activism and humanist spirituality. With influences ranging from Bob Marley to Nina Simone, Bob Dylan to John Lennon, their music draws from global genres, blending gypsy folk, ska, punk and world music to forge their own path. The trio’s mission is simple yet profound; to raise positive vibrations through music that champions vegan philosophy, human rights and spiritual alchemy.

Capturing their sound in the studio, they first shared their collective sonic vision in 2015 with their debut album Once Upon an Infinite. Since then they’ve released a string of albums and singles to form an impressive catalogue of music that captures their unique artistic intention.

Now they’re back with their latest record, Dance While You Can, a vibrant and defiant distillation of their innovative sound and activist spirit. Recorded at The Vegan Castle in Somerset, a location steeped in artistic history, the album carries a deeply personal and emotional weight. It was created in the wake of the loss of Alexander and Rose’s infant son, an event that profoundly impacted their lives and music. Despite the grief that inspired it, the album is a celebration of love, unity and resilience. His brief life became a symbol of strength, with the band channeling their sorrow into a powerful message of hope and defiance against societal taboos.

The album’s eight tracks pulse with life, each one blending the band’s Irish heritage with their folk punk roots. It’s rhythmic and energetic, with Sean O’Hara’s percussion adding depth and drive to the music. The band’s use of their new mobile professional studio set-up at The Vegan Castle allowed them the creative freedom to refine their sound, leading to an album that feels at once expansive and deeply intimate.

From the bouncy rhythms and impassioned vocal work of opening title-track “Dance While You Can” with its expressive instrumental flutters to the subtly anthemic, piano-driven sound of closing song “Shine Your Light,” the album delivers a sensational listening experience brimming with infectious melodic writing, grooving rhythms, slick musicianship and superb split vocal work that bends from smooth melodies to punchy rapped stabs. Pouring in an astonishing array of influences from traditional Irish folk styles to more modern punk and pop elements, Dance While You Can sees Mobius Loop deliver an incredible run through of their meaningful songwriting and stellar performance panache to once again share a musical extravaganza unlike any other.
