Pelican - Nightime Stories

[Cryptic Stench]

Anyone into these lads?

They've been slowly but surely moving away from the post rock style of Fire In Our Throats over the course of the last few records to return to the sludgy metallic style found on Australasia and the first EP. Have to say, really like the two tracks I've heard so far.

Wasn't too keen on the last album but love a lot of their other stuff, 'Australasia' and 'What We All Come To Need' particularly.  This new track sounds great though.

Haven't kept up with these guys post City of Echoes but that sounds good. Not a major progression mind, it certainly sounds like something off Australasia.

[Cryptic Stench]

No major progression , but enough twists to keep me interested.

The new Russian Circles by contrast is complete bollocks. I remember thinking they were the greatest thing ever after the first two records but they're long out of ideas at this point. Sounds like the same riffs being rehashed,
