Pelican – “What We All Come to Need” – [Southern Lord Recordings]

This four-man band serves up a stew of intense shoegaze that is sometimes hypnotizing and at other times revelatory. Tracks 2, 3, and 7 are good places to start, and 8 has hazy vocals arising from the murky depths of guitars and percussion. The music goes with the rather desolate photography of the CD sleeve.
