Loose Tapestries is an alternative music project consisting of Sergio Pizzorno (Kasabian), and comedian Noel Fielding. It was formed in 2012 to provide music for Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy.[2] Their first album, Loose Tapestries Presents the Luxury Comedy Tapes, was released on 2 March 2012 as a digital download, and made available as a very limited edition of 500 records for Record Store Day on 21 April 2012.[3]

Kasabian touring members Ben Kealey and Tim Carter also worked on the album (with Carter credited at the end of the programme), while some of the designing was handled by regular Kasabian collaborator Aitor Throup.[4][citation needed]

Their second album, N.H.S., was released on 17 June 2016, and is the soundtrack from the show's second series, Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy 2: Tales from Painted Hawaii, which began in July 2014.[5] The album includes the track "Can't Wait For Christmas", which features a rap from Luther star Idris Elba, and which was originally released as a single in December 2015.[6][7]
