About Cathode
Cathode is Steve Jefferis, from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK.

Special Measures, Cathodes debut album, was released by Expanding Records in 2004 following early releases on Static Caravan and 555 Records. The album was acclaimed for its winning combination of precision-glitch electronics and a warm melodic sensibility, gaining the judgement of first class from John Peel and neatly summed up by Metro as a moody, melodic soundscape of carefully controlled clicks, beats and bleeps, producing a crescendo of beautifully blended electronic rhythms ... a sound as emotive as it is creative.

Second album Sparkle Plenty finds Cathode coupling the precision and warmth of the debut with a richer sonic palette for instance, the skittering improv percussion of Dream Feeder, the strings, flutes and piano of Without Memory Or Desire, or the battered acoustic guitar and ticking clocks of Nightly Builds. Centrepiece of the album is Structure Hunger, a juddering serialist-krautrock wonder, which has its origins in a collaborative project with film-maker Adam Finlay at Newcastles Tyneside Cinema to provide new soundtracks to a batch of vintage colour-saturated summertime movies.

Steve's other band is Warm Digits, a krautrock/guitar-noise/electronics/free-improvisation collaboration with the Matinee Orchestras Andrew Hodson.
