Pelt is a drone/folk/psychedelic rock band hailing from Richmond, Virginia, USA. With their unique blend of genres, they have captivated audiences worldwide. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Ulaan Khol, Vibracathedral Orchestra, and Steven R. Smith, Pelt has carved out their own distinct sound.

Known for their mesmerizing live performances and intricate compositions, Pelt has become a staple in the experimental music scene. Their music takes listeners on a journey through ethereal landscapes and transcendent sonic experiences.

With influences ranging from folk to psychedelia, Pelt creates a sonic tapestry that is both captivating and immersive. Their discography showcases their evolution as musicians and highlights their ability to push boundaries within the genre.

For almost thirty years and over the course of countless releases, the American band Pelt has traversed non-idiomatic improv, Eastern-tinged psychoacoustic drones. The group once counted among its ranks the late guitarist Jack Rose, whose spirit continues to imbue Pelt’s music with a sound that is as forward-thinking as it is refreshingly unpretentious. Reticence / Resistance was recorded in London over two nights in 2017 and is focused on piano, harmonium, fiddle, percussion, banjo, harmonium, bowls, and bells. The pieces as mesmerizing, harmoniously advancing and receding, at first almost imperceptibly, recalling Coltrane’s improvisations circa “India” as much as it does ocean currents and lapping waves. Pelt clearly possess a firm grasp of the American folk vernacular, and similarly honor this history without resorting to pastiche or cliché - Reticence / Resistance is a crucial document of Ever Weird America, and quite possibly the band’s finest work to date.
