Pelican announce new album, Flickering Resonance

Pelican have announced a new album. On May 16, the group will release Flickering Resonance, their first full-length album in six years, via Run for Cover. Today they’ve shared “Cascading Crescent.” Hear it below.

It’s also the band’s first album in more than a decade to feature founding guitarist Laurent Schroeder-Lebec, and a press release states that the album taps into an earlier era when the group would play shows alongside punk, post-hardcore and emo bands.

“A lot of people didn’t hear it at first,” said Schroeder-Lebec of the band’s roots in a panoply of punk-related subgenres, in a statement. “I was like, well, I guess the metal world is where we fit. But now we’re more willing to acknowledge all the suits we’re wearing.”

Pelican’s last album was 2019’s Nighttime Stories. Their 2005 album The Fire in Our Throats Will Beckon the Thaw is featured on our list of the 50 Best Post-Rock Albums.
