  • Loscil and Rafael Anton Irisarri have compiled Air Texture Volume II, due for release in July. Air Texture is a series of ambient compilations organized by James Healy, AKA Escape Art, a Brooklyn-based artist and co-founder of New York label theAgriculture. Each installment features two separate, unmixed collections put together by ambient artists. Last year's inaugural edition featured bvdub and Pop Ambient staple Andrew Thomas. This time it's Loscil, a producer with past releases on Kranky and Ghostly International, and Rafael Anton Irisarri, the Seattle artist better known as The Sight Below. Both producers assemble sparse and emotional collections that do justice to the title of the series, with most selections coming from fellow contemporary ambient artists like Eluvium and Stars of the Lid member Brian McBride. Former Slowdive member Simon Scott makes an appearance as well. All of the songs included are previously unreleased. Tracklist CD1: Loscil Selection 01. Brian McBride - At a Loss 02.
