Originally released in the summer of 2014 as a cassette by Psychic Troubles, Songs Of Remembrance is now available for the first time on LP in a limited edition of 500 copies via the New York imprint Pre-Echo. Compiled from recordings spanning two years and various locations, the 21 tracks on Songs Of Remembrance act as snapshots of various times and places, cover a wide range of sonic ground, and call to mind any number of imagined spaces via drum machine, guitar, synth and tape explorations.
Pre-Echo Press was started in 2016 by New York based visual artist Matt Connors as a platform for disseminating a diverse and idiosyncratic array of recorded and printed matter. Beginning with a two LP reissue of musician Jefre Cantu Ledesma's interrelated suites of dream like sonic vignettes, Songs of Remembrance and Songs of Forgiveness, in 2016 the press will publish a monograph of British visual artist Nick Relph's recent photo based works appropriating images from New York City's drastically proliferating construction sites, as well as a facsimile recreation of a recently discovered time capsule-like Gay Telephone directory from 1983, in addition to the the first volumes of a proposed ongoing series of chap books, documenting the personal object collections of various cultural figures
