PELICAN

THURSDAY

Pelican is a dreamlike art-metal institution, known for their kaleidoscopic melodies and ocean-dredging riffs. Emerging from the frozen tundras of Chicago, the band blended post-rock’s majestic repetition with sludge metal’s skull-vibrating heaviness, adding their own unique sense of emo-psychedelia and motorik rhythms. For over two decades, Pelican’s prismatic instrumental music has captivated audiences, with six critically acclaimed albums, appearances on shows like CSI: Miami and True Blood, and even making its way onto MTV during the final days of music videos. Their landmark albums The Fire in Our Throats Will Beckon the Thaw (2005), Australasia (2003), and City of Echoes (2007) are being reissued with rarities, unreleased demos, and remastered audio. Pelican continues to mesmerize with their expansive, immersive sound.
