White Bird Release

VINYL FORMAT.The sixth album from Mark Nelson's longtime solo project. Nelson had been playing guitar and singing in Labradford, but wanted to explore the possibilities of sampling and computer technology as well as his interests in dub and techno.

"Dub's influence on Pan American is pervasive - cavernous, echoed percussion; resonant bass drones; Nelson's hushed vocals dwelling somewhere in the middle ground. If you turn the sound low, you can still hear the rhythms booming from the speakers. Yet the coiled, conserved energy dub rhythms doesn't obscure the delicacy and expressiveness of the underlying structure. While radiant, liquid guitar motifs trace delicate patterns across the surface, the adaptive and limber rhythm tracks add necessary tension and cohesion." -- Puncture Magazine
