Today sees the second instalment of Circles available for pre-order via the lovely people at Shimmering Moods.
The first one, rather obviously called Circles I, came out back in May (remember spring?!) and now the second round, Circles II, is up and out there. It was good fun doing something a bit different, so big thanks to Paul at the label for indulging me in this slightly wacky idea - and thank you for listening to it as well!
The record is similar in sound and atmosphere to the first one (they were both recorded at the same time), but I think this one is slightly more electronic? Although, thinking about it, there's plenty of guitar on it anyway. The last track is all guitar - even the rhythm - that's just me hitting the pickup with a plectrum and the sound being reversed via a pedal.
ANYWAY, here's the pre-order:
You can also pick up a limited edition cassette of both Circles on one tape! That's highly recommended.
Also, I roped in my old friend Gregory Hoepffner to come up with a video for a section of the record called Tunnels:
It's pretty crazy, right? When I sent him the track, he said he got all these visions of optical illusions and wanted to incorporate them somehow, and as the track was so short, it meant he didn't have to do a more narrative focused video, and he could really experiment. Perfect! We even hatched a plan to have the illusions get increasingly more intense over the course of the video, and even to have some fake ones in there to really mess with your head. See if you can spot any...
Anyway, go and buy the CD & tape, and watch the fuck out of that video. Seriously, it's ace.
