Submers is an album by Canadian musician Scott Morgan under the alias of Loscil. It was released in 2002 by Kranky.

Production and style

Large portions of the music on Submbers was from classical music that had been sampled and distorted by Morgan.[1] AllMusic described the sound on Submbers as not being very different from than Morgan's previous album Triple Point, noting that the "only significant difference is the emphasis on waves of rhythm over thumps and pulses."[2]

Each track on Submers is named after a submarine.[2] These ranged from early submarines such as the Gymnote to the Russian submarine Kursk (K-141).

Release

Submers was released by Kranky via compact disc on November 4, 2002.[3][4]
