‘The Double Life of a Seahorse’: Pan American & Kramer Submerge on ‘Interior of an Edifice Under the Sea’
What does it sound like when two architects of atmosphere meet in the pressure zones beneath language? ‘The Double Life of a Seahorse’ answers in glacial time—hovering, drifting, pulsing with slow-motion emotion. Together, Pan American & Kramer dissolve into the depths.
Premiering today alongside a haunting, flickering video directed by Kramer, this track is no surface-level ambient drift. It’s tectonic lullaby, sonar gospel, a dream whispered by a seahorse living two lives—one real, one imagined. Its layers unfold like sediment, tone by tone, until you’re surrounded by something less like music and more like a psychic dive.
From their upcoming LP ‘Interior of an Edifice Under the Sea’ (out out June 27 via Shimmy-Disc), this is sound as deep architecture: an exploration of underwater memory and the sonic weight of stillness. Nelson’s (Pan American, Labradford) harmonic restraint meets Kramer’s luminous, vapor-drenched production in a space that doesn’t breathe so much as shimmer.
Ambient not as background, but as destination. An edifice submerged, and now, somehow, audible.
