Pan American & Kramer are broadcasting their new record, Reverberations of Non-Stop Traffic on Redding Road, to the world. Ambient in the truest sense of the word, the record is a collection of tracks built from minimalist guitar, orchestral drones and mellotrons, that hang in the balance of serenity and melancholy.

The album’s focus track, “Floating Epitaph”, is releasing today alongside another ambient-cinema film by Kramer, feautring a scenic, dreamlike moonscape. Kramer offered his explanation of the song’s gentle mysticism, calling it, “An audio mile-marker for musics & musicians long gone, dislodged from the earth and drifting freely through the mountains of memory. This final piece from the LP is for those who came before us and never left.”

Speaking about the album they say:

Kramer: “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.”

Nelson: “It was an honor to work with Kramer. That we came out of it with a great friendship and a record that’s unique to each of our histories and music that we’re proud to share is a privilege and a joy. As for the music, this line from Arthur Russell says it so well: ‘If I could convince you these are words of love, the heartache would remain but the pain would be gone.'”
