I had written music for the New York Dolls and the Michael Monroe Band, but a lot of the songs and ideas were starting to sound more like me than the other bands.' What kind of music does Yaffa then release under his own name? Versatile. 'The idea for the solo album started to take shape a few years back. Sami began playing with the Hanoi Rocks lead singer Michael Monroe again in 2010, the collaboration with Michael continues to this day.But now it's time to put out an album under his own name. Yaffa's career continued after the break-up of Hanoi and ended up playing with Joan Jett and The Blackhearts, the legendary New York Dolls, the Swedish RnR machine The Hellacopters and many more artists.

Loops In The Secret Society' is a re-imagined journey through parts of both albums, with new ambient pieces primed and polished with new tangents explored in a lab-friendly blossoming of the Weaver vision that travels yet further into the psych of our future. Jane Weaver's multi-layered synthetics evolved into a welcoming slew with 2014's The Silver Globe', continuing through to 2017's Modern Kosmology'. The state demands that no-one wants an unlicensed machine-hum from an outbuilding no-one wants clever prose mapping the future, no-one wants 'music' that is attention-seeking, soul-defining, beneficial, Biblical, baroque and beautiful. When science fiction turns science fact the effect can be truly momentous.

'(A) beguiling spiritual medium for immaculate psychedelia' 'With one eye on the dancefloor and another on those sprawling existential questions we may never truly answer.'

'Motorik rhythms and ancient technology create music that brims with urgency, and originality.'
