Ephemeral

Special coloured vinyl for Europe only! It is with immense reverence that Southern Lord Recordings presents the 21 minutes long new vinyl EP, 'Ephemeral', from Chicago heavy-rock instrumental icons Pelican. Their genre-defying sound and eagerness to explore new musical directions made them an obvious choice to join the Southern Lord roster. They fit perfectly alongside like minded bands on the label like Earth, Boris and Sunn 0))). Ephemeral was recorded at Red Room studios in Seatlle, WA by Chris Common (These Arms Are Snakes drummer). This new material is much heavier, darker and very riff-oriented. Joining Pelican on the Earth cover 'The Geometry of Murder' is none other than the man who wrote the songs himself: Dylan Carlson. This was a very special moment for the band as they have been heavily influenced by Earth throughout their career. These new songs are a very exciting sign of great things to come from Pelican on future releases with Southern Lord.[cargo](E
