The Maccabees - Pelican

It's a fairly slow week for new music releases, being right after the holidays and all, but we still managed to find a little nugget of musical goodness for you. This song took us a couple of listens to fully appreciate, but has found its way into regular rotation in the house, at the office and in the iPod. Do we dare describe them (completely feigned reluctance on our part as we are eager for you to hear, what we think is, a clever comparison)? This tune has the harmonies of Mumford & Sons, with the drive, frenetic percussion and spacey imagery of Rush. Intrigued? Give it a listen, and enjoy the crazy space splitting visuals. Out today wherever fine music is sold.
