PELICAN's 'What We All Come To Need' To Be Released On Vinyl

January 25, 2010

PELICAN's Southern Lord Recordings debut full-length, "What We All Come To Need" — originally released in October — will be issued in double-LP format on February 23. The deluxe vinyl version bears a beautiful heavyweight gatefold jacket, and the fourth side of the release contains three bonus tracks not available on the CD version.

In celebration of the vinyl release, PELICAN will play a hometown show in Chicago on March 12 alongside PINEBENDER and FOLLOWS (ex-RUSSIAN CIRCLES). This record-release concert will also be the sole location to purchase PELICAN's Ephemeral Bean Blend; the band's own limited edition collaboration with Intelligentsia Coffee of Chicago. The group states: "The richest, most complex flavors take patience and skill to craft and are over far too quickly. In that spirit we are proud to present this blend of coffee beans, who have known artisan care from their moment of inception at the farms at which they were grown to the roastery where their delicate nuances were honed to perfection by the skilled craftsmen at Intelligentsia. Enjoy the moment while it lasts."

PELICAN will take part in the recently-announced Scion Rock Fest in Columbus, Ohio on March 13. The free event features more than 20 bands, including SHRINEBUILDER, YOB, ABSU, D.R.I., CANNIBAL CORPSE, VOIVOD and TRAP THEM.

Described by guitarist Laurent Lebec as "the most perfect synthesis of everything we've done to date, sonically," "What We All Come To Need" 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."
