Pelican might be releasing their Forever Becoming record on October 15 through Southern Lord, but they've also got a 7" called Deny the Absolute coming out! Fun fact- there are two versions of the song and you're about to hear one.
The version of "Deny the Absolute" you're hearing here is the one that'll be out on the 7", which is set for release on August 20. At first I thought I was going to be bored with this song due to the lack of vocals, but instead the band have gained themselves another fan. It's a cool song that's composed around the lack of voice and makes up for it by generally being interesting. This also speaks to my love of alternate versions of songs, which I guess is a testament to Pelican's writing ability. Writing a cool song once is hard enough, but making the same thing cool enough twice that it warrants it being released on two separate things? Nice.
