Our Take

PAN AMERICAN's latest offering, "A Son," is a sonic journey that effortlessly blends elements of ambient, electronic, and experimental music. The brainchild of Mark Nelson, this album takes listeners on a captivating ride through dreamy soundscapes and hypnotic rhythms.

From the opening track, "Blue Ember," the album sets a contemplative tone, inviting you to lose yourself in its ethereal melodies. As the layers of lush synths and delicate percussion build, you can't help but be drawn in by PAN AMERICAN's intricate production skills.

Tracks like "Memphis Helena" and "Theory of Colors" showcase Nelson's knack for crafting immersive sonic landscapes that swirl and shimmer with beauty. The subtle nuances and delicate touches woven throughout the album create an atmosphere that is both introspective and captivating.

With "A Son," PAN AMERICAN has once again proven why they are a force to be reckoned with in the world of experimental music. This album is a testament to Nelson's talent as a composer and producer, and a testament to the power of music to transport and transform.

So, sit back, relax, and let PAN AMERICAN take you on a journey to a place where the boundaries between sound and emotion blur. This album is a true sonic gem that deserves to be savoured and appreciated by music lovers everywhere.

About the artist

Pan American

PAN AMERICAN is the musical moniker of Mark Nelson, a one-man experimental outfit hailing from Columbus, Ohio. With his ambient soundscapes and dreamy guitar loops, PAN AMERICAN has been pushing the boundaries of electronic music since the late 1990s. Known for his minimalist compositions and knack for creating hypnotic atmospheres, Nelson has established himself as a pioneer in the genre. Drawing inspiration from artists like Brian Eno and Steve Reich, PAN AMERICAN's music is both soothing and thought-provoking. His latest album, "A Son", released in 2019, continues to showcase his masterful blend of textures and melodies. With tracks that ebb and flow like a gentle tide, PAN AMERICAN has once again proven why he is a force to be reckoned with in the world of experimental music. But don't let his serious musical credentials fool you - PAN AMERICAN is not one to take himself too seriously. With a quirky sense of humour and a love for the absurd, Nelson injects his performances with a playful irreverence that sets him apart from his more self-serious peers. Whether he's jokingly referring to himself as a "sonic wizard" or playfully critiquing his own music, PAN AMERICAN knows how to keep his audience entertained. So if you're looking for a musical experience that is equal parts transcendent and hilarious, look no further than PAN AMERICAN. With his unique blend of avant-garde soundscapes and deadpan wit, Nelson is sure to leave you both mesmerised and in stitches. Trust me, you don't want to miss out on this musical maestro.
