Band Pelican Title The Fire in Our Throats Will Beckon the Thaw Type LP/EP Company Hydra Head Records YOR 2005 Style Heavy/Extreme Popular Reviews ![]() ![]()
Influenced by the third release of Isis and Neurosis last album (The Eye of Every Storm) they turned away from sludge and turned to a post-rock direction. The sound has softened, the whole album sounds less “heavy” than their previous releases, and the melodies are amazing and all over the album. Also the drums have a much more important role and are the ones leading the music (just hear “The Last Day of Winter” and you will understand what I am talking about). Although many of you will be terrified by all these, I assure you that the result is amazing. When a friend told me about them, I said that it would be impossible for me to hear something without vocals. I was wrong, from the moment this album got in my CD-player and now in my pick-up, the vocals never crossed my mind. The music of this album is so beautiful that I never needed vocals to hear it. At first you might think that they don’t have vocals just to be special, but the truth is that they don’t have vocals because THEY DON’T NEED VOCALS. The production of the album is great--the guitars, the drums everything sounds wonderful. The production was made by Greg Norman at Electrical Audio studios in Chicago (hometown). The guitar riffs sound so melancholic but are also fast, the drums have a unique way of playing which is not complex but are leading the album. To sum up: A great album. Not Pelican's best work, but an amazing release. Don’t worry about them playing only instrumental, it’s still awesome.
