Pelican

Last heard making a post-metal racket on 2009’s accomplished ‘What We All Come To Need’, US instrumental unit Pelican have announced details of a new EP entitled ‘Atraxia/Taraxis’.

Apparently, said extended player – due out via Southern Lord on 9 Apr – will “highlight the manifold sonic strengths of the band by delving into moments of triumphant melodic rock, smokey doom, ambient soundscape, acoustic desert-folk, and minimalist electronics”. And while you digest that, here’s a list of ancient Greek words (by coincidence, also the EP’s tracklist) to puzzle over:

Ataraxia
Lathe Biosas
Parasite Colony
Taraxis
