Loupe

After an eventful 2023, in which the group released their debut full-length, Amsterdam indie rock quartet Loupe are quick to strike again. Their newest comes in the form of “Tested Waters,” an indie rock earworm that haunts as much as it drives. Devout female vocals fall against a smooth alternative soundscape distinctly marked by a string section that wastes no fretboard.

Dutch indie rock quartet Loupe are setting the summer right. The group make a brand of indie rock that is grounded yet groovy; breezy but interesting. Today they celebrate the birth of their first album, Do You Ever Wonder What Comes Next? Running about 45 minutes, the record needles its way through several flavors of indie, with sweeping guitars, resolute vocals, and production glitz, rounded out by steady, organic drums.
