We don’t need to stinkin’ singer! Pelican tells their stories through the music, man. Can you dig it? Damn right you can. Pelican just grooves and moves. They never put out anything sub-par and Flickering Resonance is no exception. Never flashy or over-the-top. They find that sweet spot and just let it ride.
