Trevor De Brauw of Chicago post-metallers Pelican has just posted a new cut on his Soundcloud - have a listen to 'They Keep Bowing' below: We've previously posted his track 'Don't Be An Asshole' (any track called 'Don't Be An Asshole' really is essential listening), and like that, 'They Keep Bowing' is built around crescendoing central guitar chords deftly laden with organ lines, all bathed in subtle atmospheric noise.

Instrumental quartet Pelican have been pigeonholed as post-rock, post-metal, sludge, and other genres under the alternative umbrella; but no genre has confidently raised its hands and claimed the band from Chicago, Illinois to be its own.

Song durations can come to define certain artists, especially when it's possible to tag their music with all-encompassing terms like 'prog' and 'post-rock'.

But that was also the year that saw the quartet finding full-time jobs outside the band due to the subsequent downturn in the US economy and "decline in sales in the music industry", according to guitarist Trevor de Brauw.
