Why do You Love Me? - Cocteau Twins, Harold Budd, 1986

1987.... contemplate that as deeply as you can from memory or imagination or both... and then, if possible, listen to Robert Fripp’s song “1987” from his Let The Power Fall album as well  💝

sound like the moon and the melodies without the rest of the cocteau twins...

a little snippet from the other night. Somewhat contrasting the extreme noise of our last SC post : ) Still making use of this wonderful space and Grand Piano, no doubt we will get asked to leave at some stage, but until then happy days : )

ADVICE: MUSIC — ESPECIALLY ORCHESTRAL MUSIC — SHOULD BE LISTENED TO THROUGH SPEAKERS WITH A GOOD BALANCE OF BASS AND TREBLE. IF YOU LISTEN TO THESE PIECES ON A CELLPHONE, YOU’LL LOSE AT LEAST 40% OF THEIR QUALITY.

Portrays the arrival of Loufric Vertere and Luci at the imposing black castle, where they are welcomed with banquets and sweet words. At first glance, everything seems grand and inviting, yet something feels wrong in the air. Whispers move through the corridors, and behind the flattery, a silent intrigue begins to take shape.

While Luci senses echoes of dangers she once faced, manipulation, enchantment, the slow poisoning of the will, Vertere begins to yield to promises of power and revenge, spoken softly into his ear. The castle, steeped in tales of betrayal, becomes a stage where ambition, memory, and seduction intertwine. The whispers grow louder, and each note reveals more of the inevitable fall of a man who has already lost everything, and now may lose himself.

For nearly two decades, Jefre Cantu-Ledesma has led an ambitious and exploratory trail through a variety of sounds and genres. As a member of longtime underdogs Tarentel, Cantu-Ledesma broadened the horizons, challenged genre constraints, and pushed the boundaries of the entire post rock genre. Later, Jefre established with several experimental bands (the Alps, Portraits, Moholy-Nagy, etc.) and collaborative projects (Raum, with Grouper). But Jefre has also operated a bit behind the scenes, issuing heady sets of experimental music and film through Root Strata, the label he co-runs with Maxwell August Croy.

As a solo artist, Cantu-Ledesma creates deeply emotional sets of drone, noise, tape collage, and field recordings on the likes of Type, Mexican Summer, Digitalis, Students of Decay, and more. 

Jefre now joins Geographic North with In Summer, a cassette that furthers the nostalgia and melancholy portraits of 'A Year with 13 Moons' (2015 Mexican Summer) and 'Songs of Forgiveness' (2014 BARO) for briefer, yet more potent tape loop meditations. 

"Love's Refrain" opens the cassette by plunging into depths of reeling, Cocteau Twins-esque clouds of guitar and patient drum machine. Riddled with static and glorious, hypnotic tape warble, the song perfectly sets the stage for In Summer's emotional arc. "Little Deer Isle" meditates on a series of field recordings and unbelievable calmness.

"In Summer" exists in a rolling simmer of aural infidelity and physical, circumstantial magic. "Blue Nudes (I-IV)" creates a deep and undulating traipse through various vignettes of hope, love, loss, and admiration, while "Prelude" closes things out with a calm, understated but permeating sense of calm optimism.
