Rlyr
RLYR is an American post-rock band from Chicago,[1] composed of members of the groups Locrian, Pelican, and Russian Circles.
History[edit]
RLYR was formed by Trevor Shelley de Brauw of Pelican, Steven Hess of Locrian, and Colin DeKuiper, of the bands Russian Circles and Bloodiest.[2] They began playing together when Hess and de Brauw were asked to play as an improvisational duo in Milwaukee; finding they had musical common ground, they recruited DeKuiper to form an instrumental trio.[3] The group took its name from the 1975 Yes album, Relayer.[4] Their debut full-length album, Delayer, was released June 17, 2016 via Magic Bullet Records.[5][6]
