Pan American & Kramer’s Inside Of An Edifice Underneath The Sea (Shimmy-Disc) is a multisensory ambient collaboration between two artists who refuse to be categorized. Pan American’s Mark Nelson helped steer minimalist post-rock tasks Labradford and Anjou. Kramer is well-known for his nuanced and imaginative manufacturing work with Galaxie 500, Low and numerous others.
“My work with Mark started as an settlement to discover the fast and the unknown,” says Kramer. “The sounds we create occur as a result of we’re utilizing the entire of our musical histories as fodder for igniting a novel imaginative and prescient, wandering out and in of potential chaos, bending time, speaking with one another—and, we hope, with the listener—solely by way of manipulating sounds.”
Every little thing on Inside Of An Edifice Underneath The Sea was recorded at Nelson’s Chicago residence. “Mark initiated the thematic actions, and I adopted,” says Kramer. “And the extra I listened, the extra issues gave the impression to be heading deep down into the ocean. Upon completion, I requested Mark to title the LP, and his reply proved that we had been on the identical web page from the very begin. We acquired to our vacation spot by trusting one another, eschewing ego and permitting the music to come back to us, moderately than by chasing it down. There’s an ocean-wide type of freedom in that, which is extremely exhilarating when it really works.”
We’re proud to premiere monitor 5, “Lamenting The Colors Of Melting Ice,” a day earlier than the album’s launch.
