The finely accented acoustic guitar at the beginning of “Pelican” by Equateur suggests a tropical flavor to the song already. And the video for the song supports this impression taking place in a jungle of plants and animals cast in origami configurations although an animation short. The protagonist travels through desert and mountains to reach this land of jungle and a waterfall cave reflecting the rainbow hues around it. The song is perfect blend of an especially lush, French style synth pop and elements of flamenco and arriving in time for relaxing summer evenings or whatever passes for summer these days where you live.
