For over 20 years across countless releases and contexts Jefre Cantu-Ledesma has been honing in on the liminal space between sound and silence. His new album Gift Songs feels like the most realized version of this concern. In a time when information overload and short attention spans are at an all time high, Gift Songs feels like a transmission from another place inviting the listener to slow down, take a breath, look around. You’ll be glad you did.

Jefre Cantu-Ledesma returns next month with his third long player for Mexican Summer, Tracing Back the Radiance. The new work finds him in the company of some AD favorites such as harpist Mary Lattimore and pedal steel wizard Chuck Johnson, along with a great many more collaborators.
