Looper are a Scottish electronic music group fronted by Belle and Sebastian co-founder Stuart David.
They have been credited with originating two distinct musical genres- Folk Hop,[1] and Horror Pop[2] (later termed Noir'n'B[3] or Switchblade Pop[4])
The band formed in 1998 for a show at the Glasgow School of Art and released their first single "Impossible Things" on the Subpop label a few months later.
They have released six albums, Up a Tree (1999), The Geometrid (2000), The Snare (2002), Offgrid:Offline (2015), Quiet & Small (2018), A Luminous Place (2023) and a 5-CD box set These Things (2015), as well as a series of EPs titled The MP3 EPs
