City of Echoes (CD)
Their third record is 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". After exploring Earth's melodicism, Goatsnake riffery, and Hum post-rock textures, they've now decided to drastically reduce their song length and deliver a driving rock record.![]()

| The playing is tight and the songs are well written and executed. I prefer longer more epic songs personally, but that's not much issue when the songs are well done. The DVD that comes with the Japanese version is definitely worth the extra investment if you can get a copy. All in all, good solid album. | |
