^love that Roots album. it's the only thing I have by them though, which needs to change asap.
I tried 2 different Pelican albums before this one and they both bored me to tears, but this one is really amazing. It's much less heavy and a lot poppier, and instead of focusing on crushing atmosphere that I usually f
ucking love, it focuses on neat little instrumentals, almost like a math rock album. at times it almost even sounds kind of Kinsella-ey, especially in the guitar work. I'm glad I was finally able to get into these guys, as I felt like I was missing out before. also the cover art is fantastic, which is usual for post-(blank) album covers.
