Album Notes & Community Reviews

Scott Morgan's seventh full-length under the Loscil moniker draws profound inspiration from a specific municipal park located near his Vancouver home. The album heavily integrates field recordings of the surrounding industrial harbor and coastal weather into his trademark pulsating, dub-inflected ambient synth work. It functions as a deeply evocative, auditory meditation on the intersection of urban infrastructure and natural decay.
