Loscil + Kinbrae

loscil is the electronic music project of Canadian composer and multimedia artist Scott Morgan. Loscil (aka Scott Morgan) returns to kranky with Lake Fire, a nine-track offering of ash-laden sonics that mine the tension within the cycle of destruction and rejuvenation. Lake Fire is the result of a disjointed creative process. Originally conceived as a suite for electronics and ensemble, most of the original compositions were deserted, save for Ash Clouds, featuring James Meager on double bass. The remaining tracks were reshaped and remixed, built anew out of the remnants of the abandoned work. The result is a phoenix, an album burnt to the ground only to be reassembled out of its cinders. Fragments of the original lurk beneath a densely overpainted canvas of sound. Kinbrae is a project between Scottish twin brothers Andy (drums / electronics) and Mike Truscott (brass / vocals). The music sits somewhere between experimental electronics, modern classical and more band-led, ambient/shoegaze work.
