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.

Bura Bura - The New Flesh 
To be released January 2018

Sydney’s Bura Bura aka Colin Thompson (Ghastly Spats, God K) has been performing his driving EBM, newbeat, cold wave solo project for over two years. In 2018 Bura Bura presents his debut full length solo album “The New Flesh” on cassette and we are extremely excited about it - The album takes influence from David Cronenberg’s Videodrome and is an exploration of body horror and the relationship between humans amd technology as well as dreams, nightmares and the structures of the human condition. A world of post apocalyptic cyber reality.

Comme Un Seul Narcisse

ME (Felicia Atkinson & Jefre Cantu-Ledesma)

I see in a dream 
the world around me isn't what it seems
is it real, is it fantasy
feels like a movie
am I dreaming

I feel unreal
am I alive or am I dead 
awake or somewhere in my head
I'm dancing along the skyline
with wings or a body
am I flying

I see in a dream

Emotional Response is delighted to announce Foreign Affairs - a limited edition special remix 7-inch single featuring reworks from Alexis Georgopoulos & Jefre Cantu-Ledesma’s “Fragments of A Season” album by Woo and Felicia Atkinson.

Last year's "Fragments of A Season" represented a unique chapter in both artist’s canon. Georgopoulos, who released the Arp album “Zebra” in June this year and Cantu-Ledesma, who released “On The Echoing Green” in October 2017 – both on Mexican Summer and to critical acclaim – wanted to stretch out and create a discrete work.  A peripheral listen to “Fragments” revealed a resonant album of delicate, ambient vignettes, suggesting a Balearic take on Vini Reilly, Young Marble Giants and other poetically-minded, minimalistic post-punk era bands.  

The Brothers Ives aka Woo were a major influence on the album's makers and so AG and JCL are thrilled they’ve submitted a beautiful reworking of the album’s “Marine”.  Whereas the original sounded like Marine Girls and The Gist getting together for a nice beach day jam, Woo's rework transforms it into pulsating track of glistening proportions.  Percolating synths, some guitar and clarinet – the true classic, idiosyncratic Woo-ification – creates a woozy, romantic, impossible to categorize slice of Balearic meets dub atmospherics.

If “Marine” is all midday sun, intoxicating and potently optimistic, Atkinson’s remake represents the literal and figurative flip, bringing out the overcast dreaminess to “Cleo”.  Sounding like an outtake from a Rohmer film, or perhaps Cocteau Twins and Broadcast having a picnic in Biarritz, the version veers between abstraction, celluloid ambiguity and suggested narrative.  Atkinson’s reworking adds poetry of the tune (quite literally!) with her soft vocal under-gliding to perfection.  Representing a temporary idyll, a meeting point where cobblestone streets lead to the sea.   At nightfall, a discotheque heard in the distance.  The morning mist burns off.  Only such memories remain. 

Digital version includes bonus remix by NY-based house producer Image Man (1080p).

Easy 2 Love U

Have you ever taken care of someone for years to the point where you become a vessel, an enabler for this person? [You] feels a million light years away, a glimmering spot in the Cosmos. But then one day your vessel self gets a break and travels in light years through the sharpest black and reunites with You after all those years. You were just hanging there, forgotten, and you realize you've missed yourself more than you've ever missed anyone before. 

But after you've exploded and levitated all over the carpet it doesn't take long, a couple of days perhaps, to go missing this other person you've been necessarily enabling and loving. And perhaps loosing yourself so completely was worth it just for that comeback.

Performed, written and produced by Pictorial Candi.
Mixed by Michał Kupicz.

Released on April 29, 2019 from Berlin to the world via Mansions and Millions and Nicey Music.
Single from the LP record "The secret salts" out June 14, 2019.

All the funds generated by the sales of this album will be donated directly to City Plaza Hotel, a squatted refuge located in the heart of Athens, Greece, organized for and by migrants from Africa and Asia. These funds will support their struggle to provide material needs for those fleeing economic, environmental, political and military disasters in their home countries. At City Plaza Hotel residents work together in ways that center their own agency, dignity and solidarity with each other.

This compilation in no way claims to represent the voices of refugees and migrants, nor does it represent the scores of incredible musicians from the Middle East, North Africa or Central America whose communities are being disrupted by mass migration. Rather, the artists participating in this compilation recognize that their lives and art have benefitted from the relative ease with which they are able to move across borders, performing for international audiences and developing relationships across cultures. Some of the artists involved are the children of immigrants, or have their own experiences of migration and relocation. All of them share a belief in a basic freedom of movement and stand in solidarity with those migrants and refugees who are struggling to make a better life for their families and themselves.

'Dead Guitars' is taken from Seefeel's self titled album, their first for 14 years.
The album is releasing Jan31/Feb 1, and coincides with a special headline show at London’s King’s Place on the same day.
The band have also just announced a run of UK and European dates in March.
"(Seefeel) underpin their dream-glossed, loop-heavy soundscapes and tunes with a heavy powerhouse of a rhythm section. The show was punishingly loud; played with a professional politeness that skirted-over any ‘it’s great to be back’-bullshit.” - Loud + Quiet, live review
