Maison Planàterre Note: Album long Jeu (lJ) du groupe Pelican (US-IL,Chicago) paru en 2007_05 édition deluxe limitée remixée & remastérisée en 2023_01. Six Titres sont ajoutés (T09à14) par rapport à l'original.

Le Titre 02 'City Of Echoes' est directement relié au style musical du groupe Pelican. On y entend du très bon post rock progressif instrumental qui écorche doucement les oreilles et laisse le cerveau pantois devant cette belle intelligence des lignes musicales présentées.

trainh13 Probably my favorite Pelican album. It's soundscapes are just exquisite. The guitars are lilting and exploratory, the bass crunchy and massive, and the drums are simple yet underpin the whole package perfectly. A really solid performance all around. Favorite track: City of Echoes (Remastered).

-------

City of Echoes, originally released in 2007 by Hydra Head Records, marked a paradigm shift for Pelican. Coming off the heels of the glacial Australasia and their even more expansive and acclaimed follow-up The Fire In Our Throats Will Beckon The Thaw, their third album is a study in precision. Inspired by their non-stop tour schedule following The Fire’s release, the quartet composed City of Echoes to be a lean powerhouse of non-stop melodic hooks and lurching rhythms that reflected the energy of live performance.

15 years after the album’s release, Pelican and Thrill Jockey are proud to present City of Echoes in a deluxe 2xLP edition newly remastered by Josh Bonati and featuring a full LP-worth of bonus material, including original album demos, alternate takes, and pieces originally only available on the rare Pink Mammoth EP.

With City of Echoes, Pelican defied expectations and set themselves apart from the single-minded thrum of retreading old ground. The more concise pieces trade breadth and rumination for a distinct clarity and a razor’s edge for hook-driven songcraft. Guitarists Trevor Shelley de Brauw and Laurent Schroeder-Lebec trade crisp riffs that twirl in opposition before thundering together in monoliths. The sheer amount of potent interplay between the two, often borrowing from disparate edges of rock and metal at a whim before completely transforming, is mind-boggling. Bassist Bryan Herweg and rhythm section compatriot/drummer/brother Larry Herweg lock into a wider array of grooves than ever before. Their considered bedrock guide the band’s dynamics into some of the ensemble’s most tender moments as well as their most ferocious. City of Echoes stands as a testament to Pelican’s ability to reconfigure the grandeur and force of their sound without ever repeating themselves.
