Pelican "Nighttime Stories"

"Nighttime Stories" marks the band's first release written front to back with guitarist Dallas Thomas, who took over guitar duties upon founding member Laurent Schroeder-Lebec's departure in 2012. In the process of writing the album, the quartet endured a slew of realizations, tragedies, and glimmers of optimism that guided the creative process to the most potent work of their 19-year career. As the writing of "Nighttime Stories" progressed, Thomas also experienced a heavy loss with the passing of his father, to whom the album pays tribute on opening track "WST" (on which Dallas performed his guitar parts on his father's Yamaha acoustic).
