Nomad Planets is a Northwest Indiana based band that clearly enjoys making music together.
Their line-up originally found each other before, during and after the recording of “The Indestructible Drop” the band's first CD release in 1999. Guitarist/vocalist Mark Mybeck and bass player Phil Rapchak had previously played together in the artfully eclectic combo known as Whistling Jupiters. During the recording of the disc, they forged a creative connection with engineer and producer John Carpenter, who joined their lineup as a guitarist and vocalist after the album's release. In turn, Carpenter brought in drummer Drew Enselman, whom he had befriended during a stint in Chicago's alt-country band Urban Twang. Nomad Planets subsequently recorded and released “Edge of Time”, their sophomore disc, in 2005.
“You're Never Lost Until You Panic” was produced by Carpenter at Thunderclap Recording Studio in Hammond. The disc features guest appearances by, among others, cellist Alison Chesley (Verbow/Poi Dog Pondering), violinist Inger Petersen Carle (Poi Dog Pondering), drummers Dan Massey (Robbie Fulks/Jon Langford) and Terry Boylan (Big Guitars From Memphis/EricLambert), fiddle player Ken Stone (Chicago Bluegrass Band) along with local musicians Walter Brach and Collin
Magdziarz.
