Pelican Announce West Coast Tour with Russian Circles
Pelican finished recording their next full-length at the start of September, and as they note below that the US West Coast stretch they’ll do alongside fellow Chicagoan instrumentalists Russian Circles is their first bigger run in five years, I can’t help but speculate the album will be out sometime around when they go, or shortly thereafter in Spring. Or, you know, ever, I guess, while we’re theorizing.
You’ll recall the band earlier this year put out the two-songer Adrift/Tending the Embers (review here) as a precursor to the seemingly-impending long-player, so if news were to show up about that between now and this tour, that would make sense. Thrill Jockey has been handling catalog reissues, so I’d expect the next LP to show up with that backing as well, but I never know anything until the PR wire tells me and it’s a universe of infinite possibility, so take that as you will.
Before this tour, Pelican will play the rescheduled Heavy Mountain Music and Beer Fest, which is to be held Jan. 17-18 in Asheville, North Carolina. Obviously I’m a nerd for the potentiality of a new Pelican album in the next however-many months, but if you’ve never seen them bring their work to life on stage, I strongly encourage you to consider doing so.
