Music SIG Likes #6 :: Pelican · 2:39am Feb 10th, 2016
Back to metal! (Notice a trend yet? 
)
Pelican is a somewhat unique instrumental band/group, described as both "Post-Metal" (whatever that means) and "Instrumetal". I think Significant Other described them best with the succinct "easy listening metal" description. It feels a bit like a metal version of jazz (in a good way) what with their heavy, yet clear guitars and varying time signatures (Ohhh lookit SIG with all the poncey, hoity-toity phrases!)
I love putting them on in the background as I work. Odds are if I am prereading your FimFic fic on Gdocs or whatnot, I am listening to this.

With a name like "Perelandra", I can see how that would catch your attention!
That guitar melody reminds me a bit of Grain by Ghost Brigade.
(I will admit the link is a bit tenuous, but it popped immediately into my mind)
Incidentally, If you like Pelican and their style, you may want to check out Russian Circles. Similar genre and sound and all that...
...
(What does "Post-Metal" mean anyways?)

Post-Metal is a play on Post-Rock. Simplest explanation: Rock instrumentation and technique used to make music that isn't, essentially, rock music. Instrumental, either entirely or almost. Empahsis not on rhythm and the blues heritage or even on verse and chorus but on texture, sound, dynamic... but in a sort of wholistic way? It's hard to explain. Explosions in the Sky and This Will Destroy You are great Post-Rock. Mogwai too.
Post-Rock is a strange sort of millenial attempt to try at the old art music thing again from a whole new angle and it is weird and sometimes beautiful in an majestically daft way
Ah!
That certainly makes sense. That is sort of what I was groping towards above in my post.
I do, however like my music less "deconstructed"(?) and more rock/metal/blues/folk with rhythm though. "Minor key" and "strong rhythm" are probably the two most common traits in the music I enjoy.

What was the name of that "Perelandra" song again? YouTube seems to have memory holed it...
