Familiar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStare Away, the solo project of New York City-based musician Ben Nelson, deals in music where atmosphere isn't decorative — it's load-bearing. \"In Absence\", his seven-song debut EP on à La Carte Records, is built on brooding, synth-driven arrangements and melodies that linger well past their welcome. Rooted in the emotional vocabulary of post-punk and new wave without feeling like a nostalgia exercise, the record carries the shadowed grandeur of The Chameleons into firmly present-tense territory.From the urgent propulsion of \"Parting Ways\" to the cinematic sweep of \"Familiar\", \"In Absence\" moves between moods with deliberate precision — restless, melancholic, and impossible to shake.\"Nelson's eerie, echoing vocals create a sense of unease and alienation that lingers like an uninvited guest who refuses to leave.\" — Post-Punk.comProduct DetailsArtist: Stare AwayTitle: In AbsenceCatalogue Number: LPALCR162Barcode: 652805573359Label: A LA CARTE RECORDSTracklisting1.
