Le Loup is an American indie band founded in late 2006 in Washington, D.C. by Sam Simkoff (keyboard/banjo). The band also includes Christian Ervin (computer), Michael Ferguson (guitar), Nicole Keenan (keyboard/French horn), Dan Ryan (bass), Robert Sahm (drums), May Tabol (guitar) and Jim Thomson (guitar). The group has drawn comparisons to Sufjan Stevens,[1] The Arcade Fire, The Books, Animal Collective[2] and Yeasayer.[3]

The group is currently signed Hardly Art, a new label started by Sub Pop founder Jonathan Poneman in early 2007. Their debut album, The Throne of the Third Heaven of the Nations' Millennium General Assembly was released on September 11, 2007.
