Loscil - Monument Builders

Review by Sam Cleeve

Some of Loscil’s best, most menacing, most uncompromising work»

Monument Builders is the new album from Loscil, the ambient / electronic project of prolific composer Scott Morgan. It was primarily created on sample-based instruments in Morgan’s century-
old Vancouver home. Like that aged space, this music is also rough-hewn, with rickety samples of boiling kettles and resonant moving air. Recordings from a vintage micro-cassette recorder contribute distortion, rattles and textures that serve as both percussion and abstract aural colour.description from www.roughtrade.com
