Pelican Release New Single “Indelible” as Tour with Russian Circles Winds Down
Last month, Pelican announced they were releasing their first new studio effort in over six years ago titled Flickering Resonance. During that announcement, we got a little taste of what’s to come, but today we got yet another bite at that particular apple, as the band released their single “Indelible” just moments ago.
Clicking in at just over seven minutes long, this trippy psych rock instrumental ebbs and flows upon itself, pulsing with a thumping and heavy sound to it.
In anticipation of the new album’s release, which is set for May 16 via Run For Cover, the band announced a special early listening event on Easter Sunday (4/20, blaze it) at Chicago independent brewing company Half Acre and Half Acre’s Second Setting Cannabis (a bit on the nose, guys…). The band will be on-site at Half Acre’s Bowmanville Brewery this Sunday as the entire album will be played in full. Half Acre will be selling their terpene-infused IPA while local cannabis companies Second Setting and the Budrista Club will be on hand.
If you can’t make it out to Chicago for the listening event, you can always wait until Flickering Resonance is released on May 16 via Run For Cover. Just make sure to preorder and pre-save your copy today. You can also catch them live on their remaining dates with Russian Circles until March 22. Otherwise, you can make sure you get tickets to one of the shows later this year. Those dates can be found below.
