 This September two of Hydra Head’s finest, Pelican and Torche, go head to head on a whirlwind UK tour.
This is the first we’ve seen of Pelican since last year’s self proclaimed “pop album”, ‘City of Echoes’ - a series of (r)evolutionary instrumental ruminations on touring and the homogenous effects of globalization. As the reverberations from their own amplified gloriousness rest upon your heads, so too will Torche. Mastermind Steve Brooks and his fellow hook heroesproduce the finest in bomb-string stoner pop/thunder rock/doom pop classic from mastermind was released earlier this year.
Fast-forward to November and it’s These Arms are Snakes and Russian Circles’ turn to make the trek across the pond. Russian Circles weave up an intense and cinematic albeit soothing clobbering that cannot be put into words but instead into forms of audible head trips that defies pigeonholing, whilst TAAS describe themselves as “Four men with a chronic black cloud overhead; bitter, bummed out, and bored”…
