It is with immense reverence that Southern Lord Recordings announces the signing of Chicago heavy-rock instrumental icons Pelican. Their genre-defying sound and eagerness to explore new musical directions will fit right at home alongside similar bands on the label like Earth, Boris and sunn 0))). Pelican have recorded an EP entitled Ephemeral at Red Room studios in Seattle, WA and this will be their first release on Southern Lord due out in June. The new material promises to be heavier, darker and very "riff-oriented" comments guitarist Trevor De Brauw. A very special guest guitarist who has been heavily influential to the band will be making a guest appearance more details to be revealed shortly!

Next on the agenda, Pelican will be focusing their sights on their fourth full-length album and we at Southern HQ cannot wait!
