Listen: Pelican’s New ‘Becoming’

Do you know about our awesome new releases round-up, Shit That Comes Out Today? We’re so proud of it cuz our readers can visit it first thing each Tuesday and listen to all new jamz — not just glance at their titles, not just peep their cover arts, and certainly not waste a bunch of clicks tracking down a free listen. Nope, all you need to expand your metal library is found at one convenient place: STCOT.

But hang on, let’s back up: As your buds, we urge to start your Tuesday with STCOT cuz time is of the essence! Some streams are temporary and/or oddly timed, so putting off your personal sampling might lead to disappointment. Take for example the new Pelican album: Titled Forever Becoming, it comes out Tuesday — and its current stream at fancy Pitchfork ends that same day. Huh. I’m no scientist, but if your band has a higher number of potential fans than existing fans, your album must be previewable for a while after its release (i.e. the moment new fans will learn of its existence and want to check it out). So check it out today and check in to STCOT every Tuesday! This is your warning :)
