Loscil - Seas Is Island - VINYL LP

*BACK IN PRINT!!! Sea Island is a collection of new material composed and recorded over the past two years. While many of these compositions were performed live extensively prior to recording, others were constructed in the studio and are being heard for the first time here. Musically, the album represents a range of compositional approaches. Murky, densely textured depths of sound are explored with subtle pulses and pings woven within, contrasted with composed or improvised moments of acoustic instrumentation making a move into the foreground. Certain tracks on Sea Island such as album opener InchAhulInchl make rhythm their focus by exploring subtle polyrhythms and investigating colliding moments of repetition and variation. Though staunchly electronic at it's core, instruments such as vibraphone and piano make appearances, and layers of live musicality, improvisation and detail appear in the looped and layered beds of manipulated sound recordings. A varied cast of players appear in the Loscil InchensembleInch, some familiar collaborators from the past such as JASON ZUMPANO on Rhodes and JOSH LINDSTROM on vibraphone, and others new to the mix such as FILEDHEAD's ELAINE REYNOLDS, who provides layered violin on InchCatalina 1943,Inch and ASHLEY PITRE contributing vocals on InchBleeding Ink.Inch Seattle pianist KELLY WYSE, who collaborated with Loscil on his 2013 edition of piano-centric reworks Intervalo, performs on the tracks InchSea Island MurdersInch and InchEn Masse.Inch Album Tracks 1.
