Ah Pelican ... remember when they were at the forefront of that whole "skinny indie dudes playing tooth rattling stoner metal" movement? Well, now there are a zillion of those bands out there, but we still think the Chicago four-piece is one o0ff the ones that do it best. Their new disc What We All Come To Need doesn't come out until later this fall, but we just got this taster of what to expect.
"Strung Up From The Sky" breaks no new ground for Pelican, they're still all about the instrumental and the massive and the creating the atmospheric. It's a slow and steady creep that knows just when to turn up the volume to eye bleed levels. Check it out.
