Loscil
Lake Fire
In Lake Fire, Loscil (Scott Morgan) returns to kranky with a haunting, ash-laden album that explores the cyclical tension between destruction and renewal. Born from a fragmented creative process, the album was reshaped and rebuilt from discarded compositions, resulting in a phoenix-like rebirth. Drawing inspiration from a transformative road trip amid wildfires and smoke, the work embodies both the fragility and resilience of life in the face of natural chaos. The title reflects the irony of wildfires being named after lakes, while the cover art captures the eerie stillness of a smoky landscape near Revelstoke, BC. With dense soundscapes and layers of deep, evocative atmosphere, Lake Fire is a testament to the rebirth found in the ashes of the old.
