Noise Makers
Storm Starters
After a successful European tour, Portland’s Loch Lomond is barely catching its breath before heading back out on the road for a string of
Northwest dates.
“It’s great. I love to travel,” says Loch Lomond vocalist and songwriter Ritchie Young.
Loch Lomond blends elements of British folk, psychedelic Americana and acoustic indie-rock into a sound reminiscent of other Northwest acts like
Fleet Foxes. Unique instrumentation such as vibraphone and flute lead some to call Loch Lomond’s sound “chamber pop,” but Young disagrees. “We
play pop music,” he insists. “We try to keep the music simple and really work on vocals and volume. We just have really good dynamics.”
The band’s 2011 release Little Me Will Start A Storm plays like a group of grad students on a spirit walk through the ‘60s – pure pop hooks
and crystalline harmonies in songs like “Blue Lead Fences” meet quirky ballads like “Blood Bank,” featuring chiming mandolins, string
arrangements and a healthy appreciation for both American and European folk music. And when a bowed saw blade carries the melody of
instrumental track “Water Bells,” it only seems right in Loch Lomond’s weird world.
While touring Europe the band sold an exclusive EP called White Dresses and
saved a few for Loch Lomond fans in the Northwest. “We are only selling
them on this four-day tour. Just these shows. Then all gone,” entices
Young. So don’t miss out.

“If you want something
predictable, play a keyboard,” says
Kevin Spahn, aka Spark Applied to
Powder. Spahn plays a custom
Sidrassi organ, a bizarre electronic
instrument that looks like a
xylophone, responds to pressure
rather than percussion, and features
a seven-bar circuit board wired to
randomly placed brass pins. With this
instrument, Spahn produces a
droning, pulsing, ambient music that
sounds like demons inhabiting a
Victrola — and it’s fucking cool.
Within the genre of “experimental,”
the range encompasses basically any
empty space left over from what is
characteristically defined as music:
melody, chord progression, rhythm,
structure, etc — from grindingly
abrasive distortion, to garbled glitches,
to broken walls-of-sound, to rakes
scraping across sheet metal.
“The umbrella of noise is huge,”
says Spahn. “I follow my gear down
the rabbit hole of its capabilities and
try to get other avenues of sound to
impact people.”
During shows, rather than
overwhelming people with hours of
any one musician’s noise, Spahn’s sets
tend to include multiple performers
each playing shorter single
pieces. “Eugene has a really well-
developed, supportive noise scene
and we put on shows together,” he
says.
