Pelican has always been a band that’s not just from Chicago, but distinctly of Chicago. Formed in 2000 by guitarists Trevor Shelley de Brauw and Laurent Schroeder-Lebec alongside brothers Bryan and Larry Herweg on bass and drums respectively, Pelican’s foundation was built upon the rule-free, genre-agnostic scene synonymous with the Fireside Bowl. “The ‘90s in Chicago was a free-for-all. Everyone was just coming from a place of pure creativity,” says Shelley de Brauw. With Schroeder-Lebec returning to the band following Dallas Thomas’ exit in 2022, this reunified version of Pelican allowed the band to tap back into those influences and build something distinctly new with Flickering Resonance.

All songs written and produced by God Is An Astronaut. Recorded at Opium in Dublin on Aug 14th 2021. Engineered by Zachary Dutton Hanney. Mixed/Mastered by Torsten Kinsella at Quill Lane Studios.

"Sleepmakeswaves is one of those bands that's there for you. Every one of their releases seems to come at exactly the right time and reflects on the way the world is and what we need to hear right now.

The new ideas on this record blend perfectly into their recognisable sound and give it more feeling than ever. This album makes their music an important part of life."

Sweden’s stalwart, slow burning post-rock outfit OH HIROSHIMA return to champion wonder and awe in an age of faded youth and jaded disenchantment. ‘All Things Shining’, the band’s fifth studio album, sees the project pared down to a brotherly core as they expand ever further into new sonic territories.

Twelve years after their last album Toward the Low Sun, Australia's improvisational, alt-everything instrumental trio Dirty Three return with their most ambitious undertaking; pianist/violinist Warren Ellis (who's been busy with Nick Cave projects), drummer Jim White and guitarist Mick Turner have created a symphony for the new century. The threesome returned to their now time-honored way of making music on the six-movement suite, Love Changes Everything: exploring textures; darting in and out sounds; working ideas until they are exhausted of possibility. The first movement opens with the band turning up before Ellis enters with dramatic string chords as White keeps time on toms and Turner grinds out a fuzzy line. Eventually they fall into a groove which comes to an abrupt end. It's a method—unchanged since its debut in 1994 with Sad & Dangerous—that's been fashioned into an intermittent but always rewarding career for the band.
