About Pelican:

Listen | Watch Video

Pelican is a dreamlike art-metal institution, a band whose kaleidoscopic melodies and ocean-dredging riffs have now hypnotized audiences for more than two decades. Emerging from the frozen tundras of Chicago, Pelican were early adopters in blending post-rock’s majestic repetition with sludge metal’s skull-vibrating bluster, adding their own singular sense of keening emo-psychedelia and heavy-metal motorik. Since then, their prismatic instrumental mesmerism has rippled across six critically acclaimed studio albums, soundtracked episodes of CSI: Miami and True Blood, and could even be spotted on MTV during the waning days of music video.

Pelican will once again be hitting the road in 2022, emerging from the shadows of the pummeling bleakness of 2019’s Nighttime Stories. Following the departure of long-standing guitarist Dallas Thomas, the band will be joined on upcoming dates with founding guitarist Laurent Schroeder-Lebec, reuniting the classic Pelican lineup behind albums like 2005’s landmark The Fire in Our Throats Will Beckon the Thaw. That album — along with Pelican’s spiraling debut Australasia (2003) and their bludgeoning breakthrough City of Echoes (2007) — are getting the deluxe vinyl reissue treatment thanks to Thrill Jockey, re-illuminating the band’s first three albums with rarities, unreleased outtakes, demos and remastered audio.

About BirdHands:

BirdHands is a trance-inducing 2-piece instrumental side-project featuring drummer Ian Prince (Houston, Porcupine, Story of the Sea, Soul Asylum) and singer-songwriter Allen Epley (Shiner, The Life and Times) on bass guitar and is the result of 2 years of sending files back and forth to make a record in which there were no creative conversations about direction; Allen would create his lines and send them off to Ian and whatever Ian was feeling at the time was put down and sent back. And so it was.

Upon completion of tracking, Allen enlisted his old buddy J Robbins (Jawbox, Burning Airlines) to mix this hot monster at The Magpie Cage in Baltimore. Through a series of magical loops and pedals, Allen is able to layer these parts into savvy arrangements in the live context with these rump-shaking beats to create a hypnotic and some have said erotic effect. The repetition in the music is key to opening the mind and lathering up the crowd.
