Free Music Notes for City of Echoes
Free Music Review: VERY different and quite a surprise
Hit: 4 Stars
Pelican was new to me with this disc, and came highly recommended. They did not disappoint in the slightest.
Thick, melodic, heavy, occasionally kinda sludgy. These are jams that actually are listenable. Very moody and eclectic, actually rather upbeat in spots... very good warm sunny day driving music. It's a huge change compared to my more typical doomy metal listening fare, but it's not the least out of place in a CD mix with Sabbath, Mastodon and Stevie Ray Vaughan... which shows how easy it is(n't) to classify...
Just give it a shot... the samples are only vaguely reminiscent of the sound... the tracks unfold and deepen greatly over the course of their run time. Unles you like nothing but screeching, pummeling black or death metal, you just may grow to love this.
City of Echoes Poster
the band that brought you australasia and the fire in our throats will beckon the thaw (decibel magazine's album of the year for 2005) returns with opus number three, a series of (r)evolutionary instrumental ruminations on touring and the homogenous effects of globalization. with shorter songs and expanded catchiness, city of echoes is pelican's "pop album," according to guitarist laurent schroeder-lebec, a deftly executed reminder that these dudes can do whatever they feel like and still make those hairs on the back of our necks stand up like tiny little boners. which is a-okay by us, because whenever lsl and fellow guitarist trevor de brauw join forces with the now-la-based herweg brothers--larry (drums) and bryan (bass)--to form the ultimate instrumental quadrangle, it's all shazzam! and the next thing you know, they're dropping so many suckas with all those sweet, victorious riffs that it begins to feel like chicago in july, when everybody's air-conditioners simultaneously shit the bed and the old folks start piling up like logs at the city morgue. when the heat wave passes and the humidity subsides, the pelican dudes stand on top of the proverbial heap, possibly hoisting a chalice of some type--maybe even a sword, but not in a manowar kind of way--as the reverberations from their own amplified gloriousness rain upon their heads (and all of our heads, really) like manna from heaven. amen.Pop Music CDs
