title: Love Lopps
artist: Colophon
cat#: FLAU15
date: April 1st 2010
 “Love Loops” is a minimal acoustic masterpiece crafted by the talented
multi-instrumentalist, Jefre Cantu-Ledesma, who based in San Francisco,
and is also a core member of several bands like Tarentel, The Alps,
The Holy See and many more.
In 2000, after a much needed break from his tour schedule with Tarental,
Jefre felt that it was the right time for him to walk the path of solo
music making. And this has lead to the forming of Colophon, the solo
moniker of Jefre Cantu-Ledesma.
In 2003, Jefre’s unarguably masterpiece in minimal acoustic music, “Love
Loops”, was released by the wonderful Temporary Residence label, as
part of their mail order only series, Travels In Constance. (Other distinguished
artists previously released under the same series include Mogwai, LOW,
Papa M, Sonn and etc). Not long after the release, as everybody expected,
the album was sold out and out of print, for as long as we can remember
…until now.
Therefore, one can imagine how delighted we are to have this opportunity
to reissue this minimal acoustic music masterpiece again. As reflected
in the cover photo of the album, this is an album that is full of passionate
feelings, which carefully wrapped within one’s most intimate moments.
Delicate sounds and melancholic melodies, “Love Loops” is conceptualized
with 15 loops collections, all with shimmering abstract colors and overflowing
sentimental emotion.
In this reissue edition, we are delighted to include 3 breathtaking
bonus tracks, including the amazingly beautiful minimal drone track,
"Texas Heat". This album, perhaps, is the most comprehensive
collection of Colophon's works.
