Pelican announce new album

By | Published on Thursday 6 August 2009

Pelican have announced details of their fourth album. Details which make it sound awesome. Entitled ‘What We All Come To Need’, the album will feature guest appearances from Sunn O)))’s Greg Anderson, Isis’ Aaron Turner, Ben Verellen from Harkonen and Helms Alee, and Allen Epley from The Life And Times and Shiner.

The band’s guitarist Laurent Lebec said of the album: “[‘What We All Come To Need’ is] the most perfect synthesis of everything we’ve done to date, sonically. [It’s] a giant step forward within the complex, intricate, beautiful and crushing sound Pelican is famous for. 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 fulfilment we find in each other, as well as the resolve to move beyond disillusionment”.

Here’s the tracklist.

Glimmer
The Creeper
Ephemeral
Specks Of Light
Strung Up From The Sky
An Inch Above Sand
What We All Come To Need
Final Breath

A release date for the album has not yet been announced but it will come out via Southern Lord at some point.
