Pelican – “Gasoline” (Karate Cover)

It’s been a few years since we’ve heard from the Chicago instrumental crew Pelican, whose most recent album Nighttime Stories came out in 2019. But today they’re back with a cover as part of Numero Group’s ongoing series, and they’re paying tribute to the beloved Boston band Karate, who reunited in 2022 after spending a few years reissuing their music through the label. Pelican took on Karate’s “Gasoline,” the opening track on their 1995 debut LP.
