A Year With 13 Moons, the upcoming album by the now Brooklyn-based dream brutalist Jefre Cantu-Ledesma, is intended to be a continuation of the themes from 2010’s Love Is a Stream. And “Love After Love,” the single from the forthcoming album, is accompanied with a video by Paul Clipson, and it’s as blissfully crushing and heavily magical as we should expect from Mr. Root Strata. Influenced by arthouse filmmakers, the hyper-distorted dream pop of “Love After Love” is saturated with tape hiss and static while achieving an elevating potential through the sheer power of sound.
A Year With 13 Moons is out February 10 on Mexican Summer.
