Release dates are subject to alteration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"Stare 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"\"Nelson's eerie, echoing vocals create a sense of unease and alienation that lingers like an uninvited guest who refuses to leave.\"\" — Post-Punk.com\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e1.
