Pan American, the ambient project of Mark K. Nelson (Labradford, Anjou), has collaborated with producer and Shimmy-Disc founder Kramer on a new album titled Reverberations of Non-Stop Traffic on Redding Road. It’s out March 22 via Shimmy-Disc, and Kramer says, “I would beg listeners both animal and human to allow these beautiful landscapes I’ve created in collaboration with Mark Nelson to sing and speak and weep for themselves. Please. Forget about words. Just LISTEN.”
You can listen to “A Mountain is an Ancestor,” an ethereal track that melts from the speakers like a spring thaw. Describing it, Nelson says: “Mountains soften into hills, which soften into valleys, which soften and fall into the oceans they came from, before revolving upwards into mountains once again. Mountains are our earthly ancestors, immortal and immemorial.”
