OUT NOW: Jefre Cantu-Ledesma – Gift Songs
Jefre Cantu-Ledesma’s new LP, Gift Songs, is out now.

Drawing its title from Cantu-Ledesma’s belief that music is a gift — a form of magic, born from specific conditions, rather than a singular conception, and as a nod to Shaker “gift drawings,” regarded as gifts from God to maker — the slow emergence of Gift Songs provoked in the artist how one might sculpt instrumentation and arrangements to invoke experiences in the natural world: “being amongst running waters, hearing wind through trees, or the rhythm of hiking to a vista with friends at twilight.” Gift Songs is out now everywhere.
