CIRCULUS
British band Circulus have almost single handedly reinvented English Psychedelic Folk Rock for the 21st Century. This, their long awaited third album, brings you more of the bands "Twisted Mushroom Pixie Rock". Circulus first made their mark on British music in 2005 with the release of "The Lick on the Tip of an Envelope yet to be Sent" which appeared in the top fifty albums of the year in Mojo, The Observer and NME. Circulus have heralded the recent 'acid folk' craze - alongside other protagonists of the genre such as Espers and Tunng - yet their sound is totally unique coming across like a mixture of medieval English Folk, Fairport Convention and Ozric Tentacles! This new album takes the band into melodic pop territory with some beautiful multi part harmonies alongside the usual bucolic mayhem!
Filled with visions of feckless scarecrows, errant knights and the quiet joys of candlelight, the debut full-length album ("The Lick On The Tip Of An Envelope Yet To Be Sent") by these medieval minstrels, Circulus , gave those brief hot summer months of 2005 a soundtrack of ancient wind instruments, 70s Moog synthesisers and ghostly harmonies. Now they are back and have moved five centuries into the future, creating a Baroque-Rock album of the highest caliber. "Clocks Are Like people" should see Circulus jump forward in terms of success as well as era's. The much improved and accomplished songwriting/production on "Clocks" shows Circulus in a more laid back and comfortable light. Key tracks "Song Of Our Despair" and "Wherever She Goes" have radio written all over them, whilst the Elizabethan harpsichord workout of "To The Fields" or the Moog soaked wonders of "Bouree" prove that the have lost none of their creative appeal.
