What a perfect way to drift into autumn this year, by welcoming Inbuilt Obsolescence to Bloom Loops for our end of September edition, with a specially composed and recorded 1hr live performance. 

IO is the long term musical project and brain child of duo Owain Arthur and David Kemp, who have most recently been hosting a monthly live guest series (Cosmic Render) at London's Next Door Records. 

Plug in to be taken on a deeply emotive and heartfelt hour long journey, that ebbs and flows across psychedelic, still and propulsive musical landscapes. 

In their own words: "Inspired by that feeling of post-summer nostalgia, we wanted to make something which brought across the feeling of searching through memories and realising something new on this journey."

Recorded with an array of instruments into Ableton, in the living room and mastered in the studio.
