About this product
Less than a month after one of the most violent fire events in the history of the continent, new shoots had burst through the scorched hardpan, nourished by the still-vital roots of those flayed and blackened trees. John Vaillant, Fire WeatherLoscil (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 InchAsh Clouds,Inch 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 it's cinders. Fragments of the original lurk beneath a densely overpainted canvas of sound.Infused into the resulting rearrangements are impressions from a road trip into the mountains marking a personal half-century milestone, surrounded by the ominous proximity of wildfires and dense smoke; celebrating life while the world burns. The album's title comes from the striking irony that forest fires are often named after regional lakes-perhaps subconsciously referencing ancient lore. The cover photos were taken from this same trip, while sitting in a rowboat staring into the grey abyss of an opposing mountainside outside of Revelstoke, BC, obfuscated by smoke from a nearby lake fire.

Vinyl LP pressing. Digitally remastered edition. Sigur Rós's third album, and for many the most quintessentially InchSigur RósInch record, celebrates it's 20th anniversary on October 28, 2022. The album has been remastered by legendary mastering engineer Ted Jenson at Sterling Sound, who also mastered every Sigur Rós album from Takk onwards. () is the only album where Jónsi sings entirely in the wordless lyrics of Hopelandic. A desire to elide meaning and allow the listener to bring their own interpretation to the music extends to each of the album's eight songs, all of which are nameless. The record is broadly divided into two halves, divided by a critical 36 seconds of silence. The first half of the album is light and optimistic, the second half bleak and melancholic - culminating in the thundering climax of Untitled #8, the closing song of every Sigur Rós show since it was written in 2000. Album Tracks 1. Untitled #1 (2022 Remaster) 2. Untitled #2 (2022 Remaster) 3. Untitled #3 (2022 Remaster) 4. Untitled #4 (2022 Remaster) 1. Untitled #5 (2022 Remaster) 1.
