Chicago’s Pelican has been churning out guttural rock instrumentals since 2001. The four-piece is known for its dense combinations of unique melodies, time signatures and jam-band style track lengths. My first exposure to the group was their fine 2007 full-length album City of Echoes – a droning opus fueled by a twin guitar attack. Fresh from a recording session of new material in the Pacific Northwest, WTDP? had the opportunity to chat with the group’s guitarists – Laurent and Trevor – about their gear, their forth-coming EP and plans for the future.
