CDNew world lonely ride

Michael Grigoni and Pan•American present their first collaboration. The album's title, New World, Lonely Ride, gestures toward it's meditative orientation. The duo offers a series of reflections on the zeitgeist of our present moment, the spirit of our age: the isolation and loneliness that continues to echo in the wake of the pandemic; the fractures that mar our political discourse; the uncertainty that has stamped itself on the future of democracy. The vast geography of America and the absence of a common ground, a shared political vision, have contributed to the affective landscape of contemporary American life-of what it feels like to live in the United States today. Using instrumental voices and textures drawn from the traditional American forms of folk, country, bluegrass and blues, and informed with a modern sense of ambience and space, the sound is both contemporary and deeply rooted. With New World, Lonely Ride, Grigoni and Pan American join countless American artists who have drawn upon this landscape-physical and affective-giving it a voice and shape, listening to it's character. And in starting there, with listening, offer a response for the future.
