Pelican Daughters – It’s time my friend…
Justin Brandis and Andy Rantzen mark 40 years of collaboration with the release of It’s time my friend… The Australian duo stay close to their well-established, dub-tinged industrial sound, which often veers into more spatially ambiguous zones. The seven tracks here allow parallels to be drawn with their previous work across four decades, as well as with newer artists like Static Cleaner Lost Reward or Mister Water Wet, who share a similar use of off-kilter rhythms and unconventional sounds. Whether a direct influence or not, it’s intriguing when shared sensibilities connect across generations. Releases like this help congeal a sonic world that’s often floating far beyond orbit.
