Sounds like Deficit, which is my favourite song by them. I hope this is the direction of the album. Can't wait.

pretty simple and straightforward and repetitive ! a typical post rock song with every possible cliché

"a typical post rock song with every possible cliché"

Phew. That's a relief. I thought this was psychedelic pop punk with no clichés at all.

Anyway, can never judge a Circles album by one song. Sounds like the previous track blends into it, and it obviously blends into the next one.

Definitely want to check this out.

I still remember the first time I saw them live, they were amazing. I didn't know who they were, but they opened up for BTBAM and Coheed. They blew me away. And the bass tone was super sexy.

Please show me other bands that sound like this then, because I have an enormous library of post-rock music and none of it sounds like post-Empros Russian Circles.

oh fuck yes, this band is awesome. As for this sounding like every other post rock song... lol yeah okay. This is one of the only bands in the genre who actually does something unique these days. Every other band sounds like anything Explosions in the Sky did over and over up until The Wilderness came out this year.

Song is SINISTER AS FUCK.

Sounds kickass. Normally kinda indifferent to these guys but I'm looking forward to this now.

It's both decent and at the same time boring just like 90% of the stuff they have made over the years.

THIS IS BEING PRODUCED BY KURT BALLOU? I'm so down with that holy shit.

Yeah, I hope Sargent House artists recording at God City becomes a regular thing.
Kurt doing Chelsea Wolfe's next album would be so sick.

I'm thrilled to see them working with Kurt but the song doesn't have much traction in the first half. It does regain some momentum towards the end however... Definitely low-fi, I like it.
