The Horse Loom

The Horse Loom is the name given to the music made by Northumbrian singer and guitarist Steve Malley, who you might best know as the driving force of the corruscating power trio The Unit Ama. Malley's solo work sits adjacent, but somewhat in opposition, to his band output - adding his work with intense post-hardcore bands Crane and Four Frame.

Channelling the same extended, exploratory, on-the-edge quality of his guitarwork through an acoustic setting, he uses this to frame a portfolio of truly extraordinary songs that combine mysticism with a very rooted, earthy reality. Added to that his rich, unaffected voice and you have something unique and special, and which has made The Horse Loom a word-of-mouth phenomenon to compare with fellow Tynesiders Richard Dawson and Nev Clay.
