Russian Circles/Pelican Interview, Downloads from both bands, Pelican EP stream, and more
Two of Chicago’s heaviest instrumental bands got together with The Skinny to discuss music journalism terminology, profit-motivated band reunions, Chicago music, and ideal presidential candidates. The result is equal parts heated discussion and ridiculous jokes.
Both bands are touring Europe during April. Russian Circles are touring with Deafheaven. “Mladek,” from Russian Circles October 2011 album Empros, is available to download on Epitonic.
Pelican are set to release their new EP Ataraxia/Taraxis on April 10 while on the road before heading to the metal mecca Roadburn Festival in Tilburg, The Netherlands that weekend. Take a listen to the full EP below, courtesy of AV Club, and download “Lathe Biosas” on Epitonic. Pelican’s Trevor de Brauw recently performed an atmospheric solo set at the Empty Bottle in Chicago, which is also available to stream below.
