PELICAN – New EP To Be Released

PELICAN will be releasing an 8-song EP comprised of non-album tracks this Friday, June 5th, exclusively via Bandcamp. The EP will only be available for a 24-hour period with all proceeds from it having been earmarked for Color Of Change.

“A primarily instrumental post-metal act who use extended compositions to explore the texture and timbre of heavy noise, Pelican can be crushingly heavy or ethereal within the same song. Based out of Chicago, the group emerged in 2001 and released their debut album, Australasia, in 2003. They continued to explore the outer reaches of stoner rock, doom, and post-metal on acclaimed subsequent outings like City of Echoes (2007), Forever Becoming (2013), and Nighttime Stories (2019). The secretive instrumental art metal outfit was formed in Chicago by guitarists Trevor de Brauw and Laurent Lebec, as well as bassist Larry Herweg and his sibling drummer, Bryan. Owing a great debt to pioneering forefathers Neurosis and often compared to Boston’s Isis, Pelican coincidentally also found a home at Isis mastermind Aaron Turner’s Hydra Head Records.” – All Music
