Description
Following the announcement of their forthcoming collaborative album Where Rivers Meet, Gary Bartz and London collective Your Brother’s Keeper return with new single “Ground Loop”, released today via Brownswood Recordings.
Taken from the forthcoming album "Where Rivers Meet" - released on June 19, 2026 as Brownswood celebrates its 20th anniversary - “Ground Loop” follows lead single “Cauldron” and offers a further glimpse into the exploratory and free-flowing musical language behind the record.
The project brings Bartz together with a new generation of London musicians assembled by drummer and producer Jake Long, featuring Ali MacSween (piano, synthesizers and modular FX), Axel Kaner-Lidstrom (trumpet), Twm Dylan (double bass), Tim Doyle (percussion) and Chelsea Carmichael (tenor saxophone).
Built around a slow-burning modal groove, “Ground Loop” unfolds gradually from drifting synth textures and modular processing into a steady rhythmic pulse anchored by double bass and percussion. Led by the lyrical trumpet playing of Axel Kaner-Lidstrom, the track moves between layered electronics and spacious improvisation.
“Ground Loop is very special to us,” says Long. “It was one of the first tracks we worked on, and it really helped shape the sound of the record.”
