Southern Lord

Pelican is an instrumental metal/post rock band that was founded in 1999 in Chicago. With their unique blend of heavy riffs and atmospheric soundscapes, they have captivated audiences worldwide. Known for their dynamic performances and intricate compositions, Pelican has become a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. Their discography includes several critically acclaimed albums, showcasing their ability to push boundaries and create immersive musical experiences. Whether you're a fan of metal or post rock, Pelican's music is sure to leave a lasting impression.

Southern Lord is a leading metal label founded by Greg Anderson and Stephen O'Malley in 1998. Known for releasing experimental, drone, and doom metal projects, they have worked with renowned bands such as Boris, Sunn o))), Earth, Weedeater, and Goatsnake. In addition to these genres, Southern Lord also releases death metal, grindcore, hardcore and punk projects.

Pelican, the instrumental quartet whose singular vision of heavy music eschews classification, release their first full length in six years, Nighttime Stories, via Southern Lord Recordings.

The eight-song set marks the band’s first release written front to back with guitarist Dallas Thomas, who took over guitar duties upon founding member Laurent Schroeder-Lebec’s departure in 2012. In the process of writing the album the quartet endured a slew of realisations, tragedies, and glimmers of optimism that guided the creative process to the most potent work of their nineteen-year career.

Though the new material veers towards the darker tone characteristic of Pelican’s early songwriting, it’s hard to imagine a previous incarnation of the band writing songs as meticulously crafted and detail-oriented as those within Nighttime Stories, where the compositions recall everything from the triumphant call-to-arms of classic Dischord, to the vicious troglodyte battery of the Melvins, to the dynamic interwoven melodies of bottom-heavy indie cult heroes Chavez.
