Album review
The release of Flickering Resonance—coming six years after Pelican's last album, 2019's Nighttime Stories—feels noteworthy enough, as the band's relative quietude in that span could have either indicated disinterest or dissolution. Apparently, it was neither, because not only is this a welcome new LP, but it is also a return to form in the most literal of ways: sixteen years since he played on 2009's What We All Come to Need, founding guitarist Laurent Schroeder-Lebec is once again on a Pelican album. For a band that's had a remarkably steady lineup (Schroeder-Lebec is the only member to have left since their formation in 2001; Dallas Thomas took over guitar duties between 2011 and 2020), it's pretty on-brand such a late-era personnel shift finds them with the same lineup they started with. While the sound of Flickering Resonance is also something of a "return to form," it doesn't really resemble the sprawling epics on early records like Australasia and The Fire in Our Throats Will Beckon the Thaw or the moody heaviness of What We All Come to Need. Instead, it evokes a comfortable, almost naturalistic vibe—borne of familiarity and shared experience, no doubt—that evokes what a young Pelican may have sounded like if they hadn't been determined to capture the universe's thudding expansiveness within the confines of a 10-minute song. In other words, this is the sound of a post-metal band that feels a little loose, and maybe even a little happy. Even when careening through the multiple tempo changes of the six-plus minutes of "Evergreen," the vibe is swinging and organic, rather than surgically precise. Meanwhile, the soaring dynamics of "Cascading Crescent" emphasize melodicism and groove, bringing the listener along the cosmic journey and not just pummeling them over the head. It's quite a different vibe from the dark intensity of The Cliff EP or the unhinged aggression of Nighttime Stories, but it's also quite different from anything else the Pelican has recorded, making this the beginning of an exciting new (old) chapter for the band. © Jason Ferguson
