Pelican are back with their first new music in five years, a two-track single. “Adrift” and “Tending the Embers” also mark the first original music they’ve made since founding guitarist Laurent Schroeder-Lebec rejoined the band (he left in 2012 and returned in 2022).
These two blistering, towering tracks find Pelican’s post-metal intstrumental prowess as sharp and nuanced as ever. Listen to both below.
Pelican have been recording with engineer Sanford Parker and a new album is also on the way, details still TBA. Stay tuned.
Pelican covered Karate’s “Gasoline” last year as part of Numero Group’s reissue series.
