PELICAN Announces In-Store Performances

In anticipation of the release of its fourth full-length album, "What We All Come To Need", Chicago's PELICAN will celebrate with an in-store performance at Reckless Records in the band's hometown followed by an album listening party on October 16 at 11:30 pm at Kuma's Corner, a renowned restaurant/bar responsible for dozens of burgers named for fellow members of the metal pantheon. Here they'll unleash the "Pelican Burger"; a ten-ounce kobe beef patty, with pan seared scallops and lardons, in a garlic white wine sauce on top of a parmesan crisp, and served with white wine-garlic aioli!

PELICAN has announced several more in-store appearances along the way when they hit the road this month. This is a great opportunity to see the band for free in a intimate setting!

"What We All Come To Need" is scheduled for release on October 27 via Southern Lord Recordings. Described by guitarist Laurent Lebec as "the most perfect synthesis of everything we've done to date, sonically," the CD is "a giant step forward within the complex, intricate, beautiful and crushing sound PELICAN is famous for," according to a press release. The album features more guests than have ever appeared on a PELICAN album before: Greg Anderson of SUNN O))), Aaron Turner of ISIS, Ben Verellen of HARKONEN and Helms Alee and Allen Epley from THE LIFE AND TIMES and SHINER. Content-wise, Lebec says "there is a current of inspiration that feels particular to each album's music and titles. Though we lack a singer, the song names are often conceptual. This new album speaks to a rapidly decaying world, the fulfillment we find in each other, as well as the resolve to move beyond disillusionment."
