♫♪  Pan•American - Sketch for Winter II: Rue Corridor

Last week, Geographic North got a little more directional with Pan•American’s newest cassette Sketch for Winter II: Rue Corridor. As the label’s 25th release, Sketch for Winter II: Rue Corridor explores the vastness and delirium of patience in quite spaces. Like that January you awoke WAY too early at your grandmother’s house in the country, and everything was so stagnant that a hum embraced your ear drums. At that time — if you remember — the only thing that could distract your attention away from the noise (because WHAT ELSE is at your grandmother’s house; no Internet connection or cellphone signal) was self influenced audio hallucination. So the distorted strings come warping in with slowly breezing wing, and a beating akin to your heartbeat, but maybe harsher. And repeating clicking that’s possibly echoed from the basement furnace, but it wasn’t lit last night. Bleeps you think are from that dead cellphone. Sounds of wiping metal a farm cat began rubbing against, yet it’s below zero outside, and typically the coyotes consume the leftover life in this valley.

Sketch for Winter II: Rue Corridor will play the MOST tricks with your mind via Pan•American. Scope the tape digitally below, but grip it HARD through Geographic North ASAP:
