Pelican
Nighttime Stories
(Southern Lord)
Post-metallers Pelican have had to overcome a partial relocation of the band across America, not only changing their songwriting and creative dynamic, but also, inevitably, how they relate to each other as individuals.
Like many adult friends that stay in touch loosely over the years, some real magic results in a brief period of reunion, and Nighttime Stories weaves ideas and threads that band members left for each other in a Dropbox folder into an at-times more direct piece of work, retaining their trademark focus on texture and interplay.
