If you narrow those parameters to instrumental releases, it only moves higher up the list. Issued through Hydra Head , it broke ground for heavy atmospherics in a way that continues to resonate, and as one of series of reissues through Thrill Jockey Records more info here , this reissue follows a stint for the band in Europe that included a headline slot at Freak Valley review here in Germany that I felt lucky to be able to witness.
The release date is Aug. But really, anywhere Pelican are showing up is where you want to be. Featuring never-before released material from the era, remastered audio by Josh Bonati, and expanded artwork. Following a headlining European tour including sets at Dunk! Billowing clouds of strange serenity give way to tectonic riffs. Hypnotic rhythms chug at the precipice between doom and euphoria. Throughout the album, the quartet move as one like a glacier, awesome and forever imbuing the landscape with their mark.
Australasia stands as a pioneering work, unmatched in the level of unbridled beauty and devastation. Pelican tour dates Sep.
Australasia by Pelican. Leave a comment Β». Holy trinity? I have a million stories like that, about not talking to people. More than ever, it seems. City of Echoes was badass too, crunchy and defying-expectations-of-escapism and all. It is my deep hope to be able to catch them at Freak Valley Festival. The trilogy is streaming now and will be issued on deluxe vinyl editions throughout and Pelican have announced a European tour this spring, including their return to headlining Dunk!
Festival, as well as rescheduled appearances at Hell Fest, Freak Valley Festival, and a handful of headlining shows. Following the departure of long-standing guitarist Dallas Thomas, the band will be joined on upcoming dates by founding guitarist Laurent Schroeder-Lebec, reuniting the classic Pelican lineup behind their first three albums.
