Pelican – “The Cliff” (Justin Broadrick Remix)
Justin Broadrick of industrial metal heroes Godflesh has continued in the remix vein, this time refacing Pelican’s “The Cliff,” from their 2013 LP Forever Becoming. The song will appear on The Cliff EP, which features three new treatments of the title track. It’s a sprawling rearrangement, more ambient than Pelican’s usual output, and an even slower burner than the original version. The circular guitar riff emerges from slick ambience like light through the fog, and about halfway through the drums swell as layers of guitar and synth start to swirl above it all. Hear the remix below.
