Circle

Circle certainly are a Finnish experimental rock-band with commonalities to British and U.S. post-rock and electronics-fueled instrumental functions such as for example Loop, Medical procedures, Trans-Am, and Tortoise. Although their early materials is as difficult to find as Finnish beachwear, released because they had been on small Arctic Circle brands such as for example Circles of Seventh Seal and Poor Vugum, the music group got some Stateside publicity in 1993 because of American out-rock indie VHF, who reissued their Sterling silver EP (without the name monitor and adding “Armond”). The group continues to be included on compilations of Finnish experimental music alongside such electronica curiosities as Jimi Tenor, and also have released four full-length albums through Poor Vugum and Metamorphose since developing in 1991. Although their materials sometimes crosses over from a meandering grooves-and-textures romp to full-on prog-rock overload (equivalent, again, for some Trans-Am), the group’s many inventive moments have got at least maintained an occasionally exciting balance of both.
