"
Circulus provide a beautiful soundtrack
to the present, too. My Body Is Made Of Sunlight tells of a woman’s astonishment
as the magic plant she has ingested changes her molecular structure, while Power
To The Pixies relates the moving tale of an English race of little people that,
incapable of peacefully co-habiting in a world of out of town superstores and
Ford Mondeos, have been hiding in the forests for the last century or so and
preparing for their glorious return. Candlelight is simply a lovely piece of
music, with the elegance of Greensleeves and the earthy charm of early 70s folk
evoking the pure joy of staring at a candle for hours on end.
Circulus are
psychedelic, open-minded and idealistic....... their ethereal power is in a
tangible form that can be enjoyed on all modern stereo systems. Circulus cannot
fail to uplift, entrance, and yes, give meaning to the life of all who embrace
them. They didn’t ask for greatness. Divinity blessed them with
it...."
‘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!’ Richard
Allen, Freak Emporium
‘This band just leave you wanting more, playing a
wonderful mix of psychedelicised folk whilst hankering to a more pastoral time,
but always feel uncomfortably bang up to date. The songs are a fantastic mix of
heady summer jigs & ballads, sung with a crystal clear Englishness that can
make you come over all unnecessary. This is prog/folk spot on in every way, and
probably the only band around who use a Crumhorn, Cittern & Rausch
pfiffer????......the audience is sent home happy. Seeking medieval inspiration
is not in itself new –
Gryphon and Amazing Blondel spring to mind – but
Circulus marry this with vintage 70’s space-rock a la
Hawkwind/Gong’.
Power to the Pixies!
