Pelican is a Chicago Band on the indie label Hydra Head. They have been toying around with success for a couple of years now. Their last album "The Fire in Our Throats Will Beckon the Thaw" was fantastic. However I felt their drummer held them back live. Their new one "City of Echoes" felt very sub par compared to "Fire." While I thought it was the lack of songs over 7 min. ("Fire" had 4 over 9 min.) this guy hits the nail right on the head.
