The instrumental group
Pelican was formed in Chicago by three former members of Tusk:
guitarists Laurent Lebec and Trevor de Brauw and drummer Larry Herweg.
Tusk had recorded two albums of grindcore:
Get Ready (He Who Corrupts) and The Tree of No Return (Tortuga).
The 30-minute EP
Pelican (Hydra Head, 2003) contains four terrifying instrumental pieces
a` la
Boris and Earth.
The all-instrumental Australasia (Hydra Head, 2003) was the manifesto
of their progressive metal that takes off from post-rock and sails towards
the droning avantgarde (the incandescent stream of consciousness of the eleven-minute Night And Day).
The Fire in Our Throats Will Beckon the Thaw (Hydra Head, 2005) boasts
three lengthy jams, including the
magniloquent Last Day of Winter
and the atmospheric March To The Sea, which might be their zenith so far
(the EP version is 20-minute long).
Pelican's journey away from heavy metal led to
City Of Echoes (Daymare, 2007), that often sounded like a
heavier version of Midwestern post-rock of the 1990s
(Slint,
Shellac,
Don Caballero,
June Of 44).
