About
Following several years' worth of limited cassette and vinyl releases, a proper follow-up came in 2015 with A Year with 13 Moons. Named after a Fassbinder film, the collection of dreamy guitar textures, modular synth noise, and distant drum-machine rhythms was put together during a residency at the Headlands Center for the Arts in the San Francisco Bay Area. The album was released early that year on Mexican Summer. In 2016, Shelter Press released Comme un Seul Narcisse, a collaborative LP by Cantu-Ledesma and Félicia Atkinson (aka Je Suis le Petit Chevalier), and Geographic North released Cantu-Ledesma's solo cassette In Summer. Also that year, the Czech label Pre-Echo issued vinyl editions of Songs of Remembrance and Songs of Forgiveness, two previously cassette-only albums from 2014. In 2017, he returned to Mexican Summer with On the Echoing Green, a clearer, more accessible album than his previous efforts. 2019 marked another step away from well-traveled territory with the more subdued, experimental, and chamber instrumentation of Tracing Back the Radiance. In 2021 Cantu-Ledesma collaborated with Portland musician Ilyas Ahmed on duo album You Can See Your Own Way Out. ~ Fred Thomas, Rovi
