In June last year, guitarist and founding member Laurent Lebec took an indefinite hiatus from Pelican and now the band has announced that they found their new guitarist in Dallas Thomas of the band The Swan Kings for the spot Lebec left vacant.

Dallas Thomas had been filling in for Laurent Lebec at live shows and now officially joins full-time.

Currently, Pelican is focusing on the writing sessions for their new album and follow-up to their last full-length What We All Come To Need and last year's EP Ataraxia/Taraxis. The album's working title is Fecal Cliff or that might also be a stinky joke.
