Quiet City (2004)
Mark Nelson of post rock band Labradford solo name…his music tends to go under the radar, so hard to categorise in its minimalist melancholy. Not really electronica, nor strictly post rock. It is, however, slow and gently moving, like floating on a current out at sea - eyes closed to one’s whereabouts. 
The economical guitar work throughout the record is excellent, and ultimately is at the core of what makes Quiet City such an evocative record… a deceptively powerful album that sounds so good in the background that it’s easy to overlook how well it’s executed. With any luck, Labradford will return to the studio soon, but in the interim Quiet City is plenty to hold us over. (Pitchfork)
