PO: Russian Circles - Memorial (Media Mail back on Hello $5.50)


Recommended Posts

Chelsea goes 'postrock' or even 'shoegazish' type vocals, blending in the background more as an 'instrument', barely discernable vocals (at least to my ancient eardrums, my take on it anyways). About what I expected. And do the gents do sort of a Russian Circles take on the Chelsea acoustic formula in the music?

 

Will not pass judgment on this record until 10 times through (I have learned my lesson on Empros and Sigur Ros' Valtari - which I was not very optimistic on based upon the tracks released first.

 

Memorial is not due out until the end of October right?. That's OK, there's been so much new material to digest recently, and yet more in the works...plus, some great vinyl opps coming out as well to keep me over-occupied.

I feel the exact same way, I'm still soaking in releases from the summer and I'm pretty sure there is plenty coming out to get me well into next year.

 

Memorial is a pretty rad track, feels more Chelsea Wolfe than Russian Circles to me though.  It's an odd choice to release as the second track to release, but since Chelsea Wolfe is getting so much attention, it makes sense.  I do feel like the song will work very well as the closer to the album.

From facespace:

 

 
Low color warning on Memorial Grey & Clear Vinyl - only 500 of each color were printed and Grey is 30 away from Sold Out already and Clear is getting close - Our store will ship all Pre-Orders two full weeks before official release date. So if you want to get one of these limited first run colors order soon - also available in Black http://hellomerch.com/collections/russian-circles

Slept on the grey too long, it seems. Just picked up the clear to avoid missing out on a colour copy at all. Here's hoping there's no other pre-orders jump up on me until next pay at least.

 

Exact same boat I'm in.  I was hoping I could hold off until next week, but didn't want to risk it.  Luckily, I'm only a few LPs away from being on top of all the preorders I want.
