Pelican Announce New EP, Tour Dates, SXSW Appearance....and a New Label?!



All good things come to an end, and so its with a bittersweet heart that we announce Pelican have found a new home for their future recordings. Its all good vibes folks, so don't get worked up about it...Pelican have been family and always will be family... its just that now they are part of another family as well...in the form of LA's Southern Lord Records, a label that's time and again shown they know a nice flavor when they taste it.

The Pelican guys are in Seattle now recording what will come to fruition in the form of a new EP at some point in the coming months. Trevor says its 'riff-oriented', which we figure pretty much goes without saying...they've got a special guest on the release as well...but that's hush hush.

They'll presumably be playing some of the new tracks on their string of upcoming dates this spring with Wolves in the Throne Room and Tombs (shout out to Mike Hill!) in support. Included on the tour is a stop at SXSW as part of SL's label showcase.

We'll have a second pressing of ltd CD version of their split with These Arms Are Snakes as well as the Champions of Sound 2 x 7" comp featuring new cuts from Pelican, Kayo Dot, Brodsky and Zozozbra....but more on that later.
