Some of Loscil's best work. Here he uses expansive orchestral samples to great effect, but it still has that inscrutable attention to detail that he's deservedly known for.
Loscil's music humbly hides the complexity of its composition, within its subtle detail, beckoning the listener to lean into the speaker and become immersed. Despite that, it is not disruptive in the background. JackG
From Massachusetts, Dominique Cyprès delivers elegant instrumental synth music with melodies that quietly and beautifully unfold. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 5, 2021
I always end up saying the same things when I try to write about loscil. "Tense," "calm," "energy," "gentle," "goddamn amazing," etc. There is much familiarity to be found here from various pieces of his back catalogue, yet these four pieces still sound and feel new, and LUX Refractions is forward movement. It's tense and ener- aw hell. rvss.eel
