‘Floating Epitaph’ by Pan American & Kramer | New Album, ‘Reverberations of Non-Stop Traffic on Redding Road’

Exclusive video premiere of ‘Floating Epitaph’ by Pan American & Kramer, taken from the upcoming album, ‘Reverberations of Non-Stop Traffic on Redding Road,’ out March 22, 2024 via Shimmy Disc.


The renowned duo of Pan American (comprising Mark K Nelson of Labradford and Anjou) & Kramer are unveiling their latest album, ‘Reverberations of Non-Stop Traffic on Redding Road,’ to the world. Ambient in its purest form, the album features minimalist guitar, orchestral drones, and mellotrons, delicately balancing between tranquility and melancholy.

Accompanying the album’s key track, ‘Floating Epitaph,’ is an ambient-cinema film by Kramer, depicting a scenic, dreamlike moonscape. Kramer described the gentle mysticism of the song as “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.”

Kramer and Nelson shared their thoughts on the album:

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.'”

‘Reverberations of Non-Stop Traffic on Redding Road’ by Pan American & Kramer is available on all DSPs and can be purchased via Shimmy Disc.
