Hazy, dream state ambiance from Jefre Cantu-Ledesma with Gift Songs on Mexican Summer. Cascades of fleeting piano, washes of synthesizer, subtle percussion. Radiant, patient, gentle, a record at ease with itself. A single track The Milky Sea runs the duration of the A side, while the flip presents 4 thematically linked explorations. At the completion each track moments of silence linger holding the moment in what seems a moment of respect and acknowledgment for the music and contemplation for the listener. Fleeting, drifting, loosely structure and deeply human. The Digital version includes the wonderful 59 minute bonus track September.
Edition of 350 on translucent blue 140g vinyl in a standard jacket with printed inner sleeve and download card. Also available in Sea Glass Blue via Bandcamp, or purchase directly from Mexican Summer.
