Chicago rock institution Pelican return once again with Ascending, a new four-song release arriving digitally and as 12” vinyl EP on January 23 from Run For Cover. Serving as both an extension of and companion to this year’s Flickering Resonance, the EP gathers rare and previously unavailable material that showcases the band’s revitalized founding lineup of guitarists Laurent Schroeder-Lebec and Trevor Shelley de Brauw with brothers Bryan and Larry Herweg at a moment of renewed creative vigor. Centered around its expansive title track “Ascending,” a previously unheard song from the Flickering Resonance sessions, the EP also features a rare version of the album standout “Cascading Crescent,” with vocals by Geoff Rickly (of Thursday/United Nations/No Devotion). In conjunction with the announcement, Pelican released the track today alongside a video comprised of live footage captured the sole time the band and Rickly performed the song together - watch it now. Rounding out the EP are “Adrift” and “Tending the Embers,” two songs the band recorded and self-released in 2024 just as the material that became Flickering Resonance was taking shape. Paired with the new songs, the EP acts as a full circle moment, marking both the opening and closing of this era of the band as they prepare for the next chapter. In celebration of the album and the EP, Laurent from Pelican and Will Killingsworth from Dead Air Studios teamed to create a custom guitar pedal inspired by the sound of the band’s recent material. The result is Resonance, a pedal whose reverb interacts with users’ playing style and resonates in a variety of unique fashions, varying from light echo to lush soundscapes to self-oscillating frenzy. The pedal, limited edition color vinyl variants, and new bespoke merch designs are available as part of the EP pre-order - find here. Following a landmark year of touring in support of Flickering Resonance, Pelican have already announced a slew of new dates for the coming year. In conjunction with today’s release, the band have added a handful of headline dates to their European tour supporting Russian Circles in May - find all upcoming dates listed below. |
