I love that he makes this incredible music as Loscil, but was also the drummer for Destroyer on two of my favourite albums (Rubies & Streethawk), so looking forward to revisiting First Narrows again now.
I really enjoyed the few listens I’ve managed to give Shenzhou so far. It’s such a superb headphone listen, and unfortunately time is limited for that currently. The studio Sonos just doesn’t do it any justice really.
Been listening to this a lot over the last week - another great recommendation. Pretty much exactly what I’d hoped it would be from the limited Loscil I’d heard before.
Lucy Dub and First Narrows are highlights I think - I like the steady pulse and gurgling synths of the former and the glitchiness of the latter.
I’ll probably only get the one listen to this before tomorrow’s next installment…but it has reminded me Loscil’s brilliance…so no doubt he’ll be on rotation over the coming weeks.
Had First Narrows on whilst stripping wallpaper earlier…ideal activity as it takes some concentration but is passive enough to take in the music also. I was struck by how natural it sounded…almost as if all the sounds were “found” by Morgan and he just directed them into compositions. Because of that…I felt the album had a really strong sense of place, I can imagine it is something that can become very tied to the places in which you first hear it (unfortunately…that’s a bare room for me:confused: )
I have more knowledge of Plume and Endless Falls…but this could definitely become another I am attached to. Great suggestion
Just a heads up, tomorrow’s pick will be from yours truly, stepping in due to having nothing better to do tomorrow! See you in the morning…I will now be spending the early hours making my final decision…
Only just got around to listening to First Narrows last night due to my headphones being bust. Really good stuff - as has already been said despite being a collage of organic and inorganic sounds it all sounds so perfectly of a piece. Looking forward to digging through the rest of his back catalogue.
