Loscil: First Narrows

First Narrows was the soundtrack for many a snowy commute while we lived in Denver, both while driving and while taking the train. I sang the praises of Loscil about a year ago, but somewhat surprisingly, I've never heard his music in non-digital format.

I don't remember what prompted me to seek it out on Discogs, but lo and behold there it was. I was very curious to hear it on a good stereo instead of just over headphones via my Mac or iPhone, so I paid the man and eagerly awaited this two-disk set.

It's awesome. As I've mentioned before, you don't realize how much you're missing until you hear something on vinyl after only being exposed to digital mp3 format. And as an added bonus, this set has an extra track that wasn't present in the digital release.

I can't recommend Loscil enough if you need some serious chill-out, leave the world behind music.
