Pelican, Flickering Resonance
The tone of the Chicago post-metal band’s first album in six years feels triumphant, like ascending the peak of the mountain that adorns its cover.
Pet Symmetry, Big Symmetry
The Chicago trio’s fourth album stands tall as their most positive and sincere effort yet, glossing their emotionally resonant emo revivalism with a hard coat of power-pop paint.
Grails, Miracle Music
Regaining the fast momentum with which they released their early material, the instrumental post-rockers’ ninth LP is defined by a meditative feel coursing through the songs’ proverbial veins.
