Rating: 8 corporate trend reports out of 10
This "review" is more a note of me saying that (a) Pelican have a new record out called "Nighttime Stories" and (b) it's really good. For the uninitiated, Pelican are an instrumental metal band from Chicago that occasionally include prog, sludge, and post-rock tendencies into their sound. They've released at least a half dozen consistently great records in their 15+ year career, and I'm not entirely sure what words I can throw out there to spice up what they are - you either like this type of music or you don't. Pelican are one of the godheads of the genre, and "Nighttime Stories" is a damn fine continuation of their legacy. I'm particularly a fan of the second track "Midnight and Mescaline," but the whole damn record is in top form.
