Surgery 211 : Mark Nelson

This is a special episode spotlighting the work of Mark Nelson. With nearly three decades of musical history, Nelson started in the early 90s with Virginia based ambient/post-rock trio Labradford. Since he has split his ideas between the solo + occasional guest player project Pan•American and most recently in Anjou, which reunited him with Labradford bandmate Robert Donne. Nelson's most recent release is a new Pan•American album called A Son that's been well received and features a turn towards more personal and acoustic songwriting elements. This episode will hopefully soon be supplemented with a short interview.

Note: all releases can be found on Kranky records
