Instrumental post-rock outfit Pelican have announced the long awaited follow-up to their 2009 full-length, What We All Come To Need: a new four-song EP entitled Ataraxia/Taraxis, to be released via Southern Lord on April 10th.
All four of the band members now reside in separate cities. According to the press release, “the EP represents a new chapter in the band’s evolution, with a reenergized focus on composition and the utilization of the recording studio as a creative tool in the songwriting process.”
