Circle - Katapult
At this year�s Roadburn festival I was told that headliners Neurosis felt that Circle was the best band on the bill of this entire two day heavy (stoner)rock festival. I didn�t ignore this remark and checked out the show. I was treated to one of the weirdest spectacles ever. Now I get the opportunity to review their latest album; Katapult.
 
The disc is fairly calm, at least a lot calmer than what I expected of it. It�s actually reasonably relaxing, yet very freaky. If you don�t pay attention to it when it�s playing it doesn�t seem like anything really odd is happening. But when you play close attention, it�s very obvious something odd is happening. At the forefront of the music long-stretched, spacey things are happening. But in the background there is a lot of anxious stuff going on. But not in every track though.
 
There is no way or really describing Katapult. To visually describe it; imagine cruising down the Amazone river in a canoe, while discovering something new on the shores every 10 yards you pass by. There is a whole in the music, but the whole is so incredibly diverse in a disturbing, yet not disturbing way. Circle obviously is in a league of their own, at the forefront of innovative music.
 
If you�re looking for something spacey, loaded with synths and innovative as hell, don�t miss out on these guys. Dare to space out of this world on a UFO made of LSD. Whatever that means.
