Trevor & Laurent From Pelican On Band Origins, Remastering Albums, New Music, & A Lot More

Подробнее о видео

Today’s guests make me reminisce. Trevor and Laurent from Pelican join me to talk about a lot of stuff. There’s so much history between them and they talk about what music was the most impactful growing up, how they met, and the coolness of riding shotgun and playing cassettes. Their pre-Pelican bands were just as unique as Pelican, but with vocals and more damage. And while Pelican is an instrumental band, that wasn’t planned out. But it worked and the music scene of Chicago supported it, so they leaned into it. Trevor gives us the stupid story of the band’s name and their desire not to be pigeonholed or defined by a genre. And while they are an instrumental band, there are a couple of songs with vocals. We get that story as well as the story about why Laurent left the band and what brought him back.
Pelican has remixed and remastered their catalog from Hydra Head records. There are some great stories about that, too. But even better, there is new Pelican music in the works. And with that comes a more extensive tour. In the meantime, grab the remastered albums at thrilljockey.com or Pelican’s Bandcamp page. Follow them @pelicansong on Instagram on Twitter (or X).
