Loving is a Canadian collaborative project consisting of David Parry and brothers Jesse and Lucas Henderson. Emerging from Victoria, British Columbia, the group's origins are famously tied to summers spent tree-planting in Western Canada, an experience that informs the organic, pastoral quality of their sound.
Their aesthetic is defined by a high-fidelity approach to a lo-fi sound, utilizing vintage recording equipment and tape saturation to achieve a 'sepia-toned' sonic palette. Critically, they are positioned at the intersection of indie folk and neo-psychedelia, often compared to the soft-rock pioneers of the 1970s but with a modern, existential lyrical bent. Their work is characterized by a static dynamic range and a 'deadpan-gentle' vocal delivery that avoids melodrama in favor of atmospheric immersion. They have become a staple of the 'slacker-folk' and 'bedroom-pop' adjacent scenes, influencing a wave of artists who prioritize texture and 'vibe' over traditional folk structures. Their evolution from their 2016 self-titled EP to 2024's 'Any Light' shows an increasing refinement of their chamber-folk arrangements while maintaining their signature hazy, unhurried identity.
