Our Take

PELICAN's latest EP, Ataraxia/Taraxis, is a sonic journey that takes the listener on a captivating rollercoaster of post-metal exploration. From the atmospheric opening of "Ataraxia" to the explosive riffs of "Lathe Biosas," this album is a powerful testament to the band's ability to create intricate, emotive soundscapes.

On "Ataraxia," PELICAN masterfully weaves together haunting melodies and thunderous drums, creating a sense of calm before the storm. The track builds in intensity, drawing the listener in with its hypnotic repetitions and dynamic shifts.

"Lathe Biosas," on the other hand, is a relentless onslaught of crushing riffs and thunderous percussion. The band's trademark blend of sludgy heaviness and intricate musicianship is on full display here, showcasing their ability to create music that is both punishing and beautiful.

Overall, Ataraxia/Taraxis is a must-listen for fans of post-metal and experimental rock. PELICAN's unique blend of genres and masterful musicianship make this EP a standout in their discography. Grab your headphones, press play, and prepare to be taken on a sonic journey unlike any other.
