An instrumental rock band from London, England, Loss of a Child use pianos, string sections, guitars and drums to create a classically-influenced post-rock noise. With elements boarding on quiet ambiance and others with distorted guitars and crashing drums, the ambitious nature with the classical instruments sets Loss of a Child apart from many leftfield acts, producing a hugely epic sound. Loss of a Child concentrate on producing cohesive albums over individual songs and have two full lengths completed, 'The Future Symphony' and 'Caught and Lost'. A third is in the making at present. REVIEWS "I struggled all summer to get a good hold on this UK band that seemingly appeared out of nowhere and into my ears one day. Foregoing all pubescent pleasures of demos, eps, and mini albums to test the waters and get a feel for its "sound," Loss of a Child plunges headfirst into the water with a double disc of ambient, piano-driven instrumental rock with a heavy experimental edge that sees them sampling a healthy amount of electronic sounds. Loss of a Child somewhat follows the line of thinking employed by 65 Days of Static (and may be the first other band to do so) by obliterating the lines between traditional song writing and more experimental computer-based music while delving into a pool of influences that is a deep as it is broad. However, whereas 65 Days of Static cultivates an aggressive, yet strangely poppy sound, Loss of a Child runs perpendicular to this mindset by laying its foundations in more classical notions and scratching the surface with a rough ambient texture. The end result of all this noise is a challenging and thought-provoking dose of coma inducing psycho-therapy. The Future Symphony doesn't warp the mind like many experimental outfits try to do; but instead they seek to suspend the illusion of reality for a brief moment and embark on a multi-tiered journey through the deepest human memories. It's not all happy experiences and sunshine, for darker moments litter the way, but it's a spectacular ride through and through, and one that has unforeseen importance in the modern world of music. Loss of a Child is still in the process of tightening up its line-up in order to finalize the live set for a UK tour in the near future. It's not often that a band is able to establish a buzz as quickly as Loss of a Child has done, but with an album as ambitious in scope and evident of the band's talent, it's no wonder that they are the next biggest thing out of the UK." - Jordon Volz, DecoyMusic.com EXTERNAL LINKS
