Sweeping synths, thundering drums, windchimes - the debut EP from Travelyan, "Nebraska" features huge soundscapes, dance beats, ambient chill, intimate piano, and the heart and soul of one man paying homage to the place he calls home.
Inspired by dialogue from "Disco Elysum", "Tasteful Harmonious Simplicity" is dedicated to my dad, who passed away in 2012 after battling colon cancer.

Favorite track: all of them.
I cannot explain why I am compelled to buy every release by 'Dance with the Dead'... but I do. The compositions are more than outrun or synthwave... they are fantastic works. Admittedly as an X-generation teen of the 1980s, since I cannot find these releases on CD and I prefer physical media, I do create ones on archival CDs for my personal collection.

This ambient pop album from Chute Records label head Jan the Man captures melancholy, contemplative moods simply, and without words. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 15, 2021
