alwaysopenmouth Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 The 1st press 45rpm clear pressing of Geneva is probably the best sounding record of theirs that I have, I’m glad more people can get these great records Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boaty McBoatface Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 I’ve been on a huge post-rock kick this past year. If I enjoy Caspian, ITTCT, TWDY, and EITS, will I like Russian Circles? Asking before I delve into their discography. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrundle The Great Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 guys, we should really be boycotting these LPs at a time like this IndigoHollow, TheLegendOfMidna, bubb4 and 3 others 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less tremolo, more crunchy riffs and dirty bass tones. 👌 mcpherson123, IndigoHollow and Boaty McBoatface 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The band of course handled it very diplomatically but I'm certain the ones who questioned them are all people who don't know the first thing about what those countries are even in conflict over or how the US government has been prodding both countries into this current situation. I consider myself more sensitive than most people to such issues as social justice and movements toward peace but I was galled to find out that people wanted to make sure Russian Circles weren't "Putin's buddies"... Like, how literal and lacking in any form of subtlety can you be? People are stupid. "Russian Circles?!?!? An instrumental post rock band from Chicago??!!? I hope they're not shelling Ukrainians!!!!"

I understand why they tiptoed around it but the public creating that reactionary alarmism around their name was pathetic and so painfully "murika." I did find that ISIS performing under the name Celestial kind of added some mystical ambiance for me when they did that benefit show back a few years ago. That actually feels like a really cool name for a band and I would totally rip it if I could ever get something off the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like that wouldn't in particular alleviate the way that people are interpreting the name as the keyword "Russian" alone seems to be inherently incriminating in this case. They'd have to become "Circles" or "Circles The Band" to fend off the suspicion. Yes, people are stupid. Fuck Putin, yes; but also fuck the Azov Battalion, fuck NATO, fuck the US Military Industrial Complex, fuck Biden, fuck Zelensky, fuck Trump, fuck Obama, fuck the Bush family, fuck the Clinton's, fuck Reagan and so on. prowl20 and Bronchitis 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to wait to see Guidance come up in retail for teh blakzness as I've misplaced my original copy. That album didn't truly speak to me but it was much better than Memorial for me and I need to have it for completion's sake. Still, those two albums are probably the weakest in terms of my response to them. Blood Year was an outstanding return to form and saw the band pulling out tricks I don't think I've ever heard from them before. There's even a near-Death-Metal moment.

Derek™ Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 For anyone who may have forgot or hadn't heard... the boys are dropping a new album this year. They're starting to debut new material in live settings, it looks like. Here's the latest number. Pretty by-the-numbers for Russian Circles, which is great news if you're like me and don't get that same scratch from much else these days. Band is consistent as hell, if nothing else – I've really enjoyed everything they've put out to date, including the last album that people seem to be so-so about.

zaoza Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Yeah can’t remember if I’ve shared it here or not. Brian said on his tumblr post they have enough materials for a 2xLP, but ended up it’s gonna be an LP with the remaining songs as an EP or something later.

The reason is Sargent House only booked for a single LP pressing at the plant, and if they want to change it to 2xLP, they have to get back in the queue and wait for a long time to get it pressed. Something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
