Pompeii's signature sound of weaving delicate ambient openings into large dynamic crescendos is unmistakeable.
The band is back from a five year hiatus with their third and most striking record to date, LOOM. Often compared to the likes of My Bloody Valentine to Sigur Rós and Mogwai, the band's sound still remains their own - atmospheric and effects driven. LOOM was engineered by Erik Wofford of Cacophony Recorders (Explosions In The Sky, Okkervil River, My Morning Jacket) in Austin, TX and mastered by Jeff Lipton at Peerless Mastering (Arcade Fire, Bon Iver, The Magnetic Fields). The foursome has also enlisted the help of the Tosca String Quartet for this latest release to round out their unique melodious sound.

Formed in Austin, TX in 2004, Pompeii has since been performing and recording music both in their hometown and around the world. The band consists of Dean Stafford (vocals/guitar), Erik Johnson (guitar/keys), Colin Butler (bass) and Rob Davidson (drums). Pompeii's first two albums, Assembly(2006) and Nothing Happens for a Reason (2008), were released on Eyeball Records and garnered much attention from film & television placements. They have received international attention and critical acclaim from outlets such as American Songwriter Magazine, Alternative Press, NPR, Apple, and MTV. LOOM, a stirring, symphonic and poignant effort, will be released on Red Eye Transit Records on October 14th, 2014.
