- The Vancouver-based ambient artist has a new full-length in the can for Kranky.
Scott Morgan, AKA Loscil, will release his sixth album through Kranky this coming September.
Sketches from New Brighton sees Morgan return to the Chicago imprint after a full-length outing—Coast/ Range/ Arc—on Italian ambient imprint Glacial Movements last year, and his recent curation of the Air Texture Volume II compilation alongside this week's RA podcaster Rafael Anton Irisarri/The Sight Below. The album represents Morgan's sixth overall full-length venture via Kranky, a relationship that was began back in 2001 with Triple Point. True to past form, Sketches from New Brighton is a delicately paced 11-track collection built upon synths, drones and enveloping repetition.
"In a way, Sketches from New Brighton is a continuation of a dialogue with my environment that started with First Narrows (Kranky 2004) and continued with the Strathcona Variations EP (Ghostly International 2009)," says Morgan of the album. "It is not a rigorous 'study' per se, but more a series of sketches, loose interpretations of the spaces I inhabit as well as an acknowledgement of their influence on my practice."
