Originally released in 1999, Looper’s debut album Up A Tree emerged as a standout in the burgeoning genre-blurring scene, blending electronic textures with indie rock sensibilities. Created by Stuart David (co-founder of Belle & Sebastian) and Karn David, the album won instant acclaim for its inventive, cinematic soundscapes and quietly captivating storytelling, lauded by Pitchfork as the origin of “Folk-Hop.”

This 25th Anniversary Edition shines a new light on Up A Tree, featuring alternative artwork, fresh sleeve notes, and a previously unreleased track, “Brilliant Paper”, recorded in Glasgow with Sue Tompkins (Life Without Buildings). With praise from artists like Ben Folds included, this special release is a must-hear for fans of inventive electronic and indie music, offering an expanded experience of Looper’s timeless debut.
