Pelican Announce New EP: Release Track With Vocals!

Chicago post-rock band released a fantastic album in 2013 in the form of Forever Becoming, which featured the track “The Cliff”. Now, on February 24th, the band will be releasing an EP entitled The Cliff that features three remixes of that track as well as one brand new song, “The Wait”.

The cool thing here is that one of these remixes features vocals courtesy of The Life And Times‘ Allen Epley, who also contributed vocals on “Final Breath”, which comes from the band’s 2009 album What We All Come To Need, making him the only vocalist in the band’s history.

For the two remixes, one was done by Godflesh‘s Justin Broadrick and the other done by Aaron Harris and Bryant Clifford Meyer, both from Palms/ex-Isis. Both of these remixes are, “…fresh takes of the source material, feeling less like remixes than new compositions reworked from the original source.”

Finally, “The Wait” is being described as, “…a contemplative semi-acoustic simmer that builds to an explosion of cathartic distortion and melody in true Pelican fashion.”
