Pan American is the long-time solo project of Mark Nelson. After playing guitar and singing in ambient rock group Labradford, Pan American was born out of Nelson's intrinsic urge to explore the possibilities of sampling and computer technology as well as activating his interest in dub and techno. What has since followed since Nelson's first independent foray includes a stunning amalgamation of mind expanding and genre bending soundscapes. White Bird Release is his latest album for Kranky, and the follow-up to the critically acclaimed Quiet City.
